Iliopsoas abscess is a rare entity that can present with unclear clinical features. The organisms responsible for infection are gram-negative germs (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter spp.) and gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus agalactiae, ?-hemolytic streptococci, especially Streptococcus mitis). It can also be of tuberculous etiology. We present a rare case of Iliopsoas abscess caused by candida albicans.Downloads
