Abstract
Candida osteomyelitis is an uncommon complication of immunosuppressive therapy. Its radiographic manifestations are similar to those of othe r relatively indolent infectious agents. We report the CT and MR findi ngs in a patient who developed this condition following treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia, and review the imaging literature covering similar cases.
