We report a case of invasive candidiasis presenting as multiple lung nodules and cavitary lesions with minimal pleural effusion. infections of the lung are rare but can occur after hematologic dissemination of the yeast from other body sites, such as the skin and the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Here, we describe the case of a 56-year-old female with a history of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who presented with fever, productive cough, and pulmonary nodules and cavitary lesions seen on a chest computed tomography (CT). The patient's blood cultures were positive for zeylanoides.
我们报告一例侵袭性念珠菌病，表现为多个肺结节和空洞性病变，伴有少量胸腔积液。肺部感染罕见，但可在酵母菌从其他身体部位（如皮肤、胃肠道和泌尿生殖道）发生血液播散后出现。在此，我们描述一例56岁患有终末期肾病（ESRD）的女性患者，她出现发热、咳痰，胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）显示有肺结节和空洞性病变。患者的血培养结果显示季也蒙念珠菌呈阳性。
