Candidemia after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
We report a case of candidemia associated with manipulation of the common bile duct during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The patient had received parenteral nutrition and prolonged antibiotic therapy before the procedure and before Candida tropicalis was grown from blood cultures. Antifungal therapy resulted in clinical response.
