dc.description.abstractBackground: Candida species are harmless commensals of hosts, including humans, but they can cause infection when the immune system is compromised. Infections with non-albicans species can occur, ranging from urinary tract infections to sepsis, especially among patients in intensive care units. Case: The patient, a 37-year-old woman, presented with severe abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. The patients symptoms and fever continued in spite of treatment with antibiotics, and she underwent exploratory laparotomy. Cyst content culture results showed that Candida kefyr was present in the cyst. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a tubo-ovarian abscess caused by C. kefyr. Rare pathogens can be found in patients with a tubo-ovarian abscess, so culture of the abscess material is important for determining subsequent treatment, particularly in women who require an operation for tubo-ovarian abscess.
