Article Abstract
We report a case with Clavispora lusitaniae-induced purulent thrombophlebitis. The patient had multiple risk factors for the development of fungal thrombophlebitis including surgical procedure, mechanical ventilation, admission to intensive care unit, total parenteral nutrition and long-term antimicrobial therapy in addition to the insertion of central venous catheter. The symptoms finally improved by a combination therapy of micafungin and flucytosine, but the therapy did not rapidly resolve candidemia. The appropriate antifungal therapy for C. lusitaniae-induced purulent thrombophlebitis is uncertain. Further study is desired to seek the appropriate therapy for the disease.
