title: Venous catheter associated candida albicans septicaemia.
abstract: Opportunistic fungal infection is recognised as a complication of intravenous therapy (Zinneret al., 1969), prolonged antibiotic usage, immuno-suppressives, steroids, radiotherapy and in patients whose host defences are impaired (Klainer and Beisel, 1969). We describe here a patient with Hodgkin's disease who developed disseminated candidiasis associated with an indwelling venous catheter.
