| Description | We describe a case of a patient with traumatic rupture of the spleen and liver, which was complicated by candid sepsis. The infection was endogenous, originating from the bowel. Empirical therapy with echinocandin was started. The diagnosis was confirmed by finding Candida krusei and Candida glabrata in abdominal tube secretion culture and also in blood culture. The sepsis was successfully treated. The patient died because of complications not related to the candid sepsis. |
