The incidence of disseminated candidiasis is increasing. Liver involvement is frequent but rarely diagnosed. The authors report a case of disseminated candidiasis due to Candida glabrata with liver metastases. The presence of hepatic lesions was diagnosed by CT scan and parasitological examination of liver abscess contents obtained by CT-scan-directed puncture-aspiration. The outcome was favorable with amphotericin-B (cumulative dose of 1 g) and flucytosin. Aspects of hepatic involvement in disseminated candidiasis is discussed, together with the role of Candida glabrata in pathology of this type.
