[Pancreatic necrosis infection by Candida parapsilosis associated with fungemia].
Pancreatic necrosis infection is the most common complication affecting mortality of severe acute pancreatitis (death rate 80%). Bacterial infections particularly with coliforms or anaerobes account for the majority of cases of infected necrosis. Fungal pancreatic infections with Candida species are rare and often nosocomial. We report herein the first case of pancreatic necrosis infection with Candida parapsilosis associated with fungemia confirmed by molecular typing.
