Chronic disseminated candidiasis (CDC) is a severe complication of a disseminated yeast infection mainly seen after prolonged chemotherapy-induced neutropaenia in the context of haematological malignancy. We present a case of CDC in a patient with metamizole-induced neutropaenia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case described in this context. Furthermore, we highlight the role of steroids in the management of this disease.
Keywords: Chronic disseminated candidiasis; Corticosteroid therapy; Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome; Metamizole-induced neutropaenia.
