Subcutaneous candidal abscess, a rare fungal infection, can occur without bloodstream invasion, even in immunocompromised individuals. Central venous catheters may be a risk factor for this localized Candida albicans infection.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Subcutaneous candidal abscess is an exceptionally rare clinical presentation of Candida albicans infection.
  • While typically associated with compromised skin integrity, trauma, or substance abuse, its occurrence is infrequent even in immunocompromised hosts.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of a localized subcutaneous abscess caused by Candida albicans.
  • The infection occurred without evidence of systemic candidemia (fungemia).

Findings:

  • The presented case highlights a potential association between subcutaneous candidal abscess and the presence of a central venous catheter.
  • This finding suggests that invasive devices may serve as a portal for localized fungal infection.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of rare Candida infections and their potential risk factors.
  • It underscores the importance of considering fungal etiologies in localized abscesses, particularly in patients with invasive devices.
