Abstract

1. Abstract Infections due to Candida species have been major causes of morbidity and mortality in humans, responsible for a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. The incidence of invasive candidiasis with deep organ infections increases steadily and is usually associated with immunosuppression and prolonged intensive care. We present a case of a patient with newly diagnosed diabetes type 2 complicated with multiple deep organ candidiasis with central nervous system involvement. 2.
