Abstract:
Candida-related infections have increased dramatically in recent years, particularly in severely sick or immunocompromised individuals. Furthermore, the discovery of Candida auris in 2009 as a fungus resistant to numerous antifungal treatments has increased its significance. This microorganism is linked to high transmission rates among hospitalized patients, resulting in life-threatening infections and complications. This is a complete case study that explains the reasons and suitable therapy for this medical condition. Despite receiving adequate therapy, individuals with acute gangrenous cholecystitis typically have a poor prognosis. As a result, physicians must be aware of this illness and provide the best therapy as soon as possible. Here, we present a case of gangrenous cholecystitis caused by Candida auris in a 58-year-old woman.
