amphotericin-b and Pancreatic-Cyst

We have presented the case of a postpartum woman with a pseudocyst infected with C albicans and have reviewed the relevant literature. The patient did well with surgical drainage of the pseudocyst and adjunctive therapy with amphotericin B. Candida species isolated from a pancreatic pseudocyst or abscess should be considered pathogens, and the patient should receive aggressive therapy.
