[Iatrogenic Candida infection in pancreatic pseudocyst].

We report the case of a 34-year-old woman, suffering from severe alcoholic hepatitis and an acute recurrence of chronic pancreatitis, who developed a life-threatening candida infection of pancreatic pseudocysts 12 days after ERCP. After percutaneous catheter drainage under ultrasound guidance this infection was healed by a combined intravenous and intracavity therapy with amphotericin B and the final instillation of tetracycline in order to reinforce obliteration of the pseudocysts.
