Abstract

Fournier's gangrene is a rare and serious event. Usual pathogens are bacteria of the skin and the digestive tract. Candida species are exceptionally involved, mostly Candida albicans. We report a patient with non-C. albicans Candida sp. Fournier's gangrene who survived with an appropriate antifungal therapy. Yeasts should be considered as emerging pathogens in pelvic infections due to the increase in long-term immunocompromised patients.
