Candida inferior vena cava filter infection and septic thrombophlebitis.

Candida infection following central venous catheterization (CVC) is a well known complication, most common infection being that caused by Candida albicans. Less common is infection with Candida glabrata. Candida septic thrombophlebitis of the central veins is an uncommon complication after CVC. We report the first case of inferior vena cava filter infection with C. glabrata following septic thrombophlebitis of the femoral veins and discuss management of this rare complication.
