Spinal cord swelling and candidiasis. A case report.

K Ho, A Williams, G Gronseth, M Aldrich.

Abstract

Fusiform swelling of the spinal cord was noted myelographically in a patient with Hodgkin's disease. Autopsy revealed that the swelling was caused by Candida infection of the spinal cord. It is suggested that fungal infection be included in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord swelling in the immunosuppressed cancer patient.
