A Brief Report

MAJ David P. Dooley, MC; COL C. Kenneth McAllister, MC

Arch Intern Med. 1989;149(4):962-964.

Abstract
• A 55-year-old man presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and pansinusitis due to Infection with Candida albicans. The infection responded to local drainage procedures, the administration of amphotericin B (2 g), and aggressive medical therapy of the ketoacidosis. Sinusitis due to C albicans is rare but may be more frequently seen in the immunocompromised host. Unlike those Infections caused by Mucor or Aspergillus species, sinusitis due to C albicans may respond to local drainage and amphotericin B therapy.
