Abstract
Pancreatic necrosis infection is the most common complication affecting mor
tality of severe acute pancreatitis (death rate 80 %). Bacterial infections
particularly with coliforms or anaerobes account for the majority of cases
of infected necrosis. Fungal pancreatic infections with Candida species ar
e rare and often nosocomial. We report herein the first case of pancreatic
necrosis infection with Candida parapsilosis associated with fungemia confi
rmed by molecular typing.
