A case of chronic disseminated candidiasis in metamizole-induced neutropaenia.

Chronic disseminated candidiasis (CDC) is a severe complication of a disseminated yeast infection mainly seen after prolonged chemotherapy-induced neutropaenia in the context of haematological malignancy. We present a case of CDC in a patient with metamizole-induced neutropaenia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case described in this context. Furthermore, we highlight the role of steroids in the management of this disease.
