Abstract
Fungal infections following liver transplantation are not uncommon and may be life-threatening. Superficial candidal infections of the bronc hus, oesophagus and urinary tract are the most common mode of presenta tion. Invasive cutaneous and subcutaneous candidiasis is, however, ver y rare. We report two patients with invasive cutaneous and subcutaneou s candidiasis after orthotopic liver transplantation.
