title: [Candida myocarditis and polymyositis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia].
abstract: Candida sepsis in 18-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia was associated with multisystem alteration accentuated in cardiac and skeletal muscles. Candida tropicalis identified in the post-mortem blood culture was resistant to azole-chemotherapeutics and semi-sensitive to polyene-antibiotics. Unusual myocardial involvement and a role of Candida spp. during opportune infections in immunosuppressed patients are discussed.
