Candida-related bloodstream infections (BSIs) represent a severe condition associated with health care in the critical patient, with an increasing incidence of Candida non-albicans species. These infections could lead to several and unusual complications in high-risk patients due to various factors, including a prolonged hospital stay and invasive medical interventions. Here we report a case of a Candida krusei septic thrombophlebitis in an ARDS patient admitted to the ICU, complicated by a late onset prostatic abscess. To our knowledge, our patient represents the first reported case of a prostatic abscess due to Candida krusei treated with pharmacological therapy alone.
