RESUMO
The survival rate after liver transplantation has greatly improved. However, complications such as infection and rejection remain major causes of mortality and morbidity. The fungal infections are associated with high mortality rates, despite having a relatively lower incidence, compared with bacterial and viral infections. Difficulty in establishing an early diagnosis, lack of effective therapy, difficult management of certain antifungal agent, limited data for antifungal prophylaxis presents remaining problems.3) We report our experience with one case of syatemic candidemia after orthotopic liver transplantation.
