경부에서 발생한 갑상선 유두암이 Castleman씨 병 1례

Parotid infections often occur in debilitated patients with poor oral hygine. The offending organism is usually penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and streptococcus species including S. pyogenes, S. viridans, S. pneumonia, and Hemophilus influenzae are often isolated. But we experienced a case of parotid abscess combined with fungal infection in the 25 year old, previously healthy male person.

The patient was initially presented with swelling of parotid gland. Following the aspiration of abscess and antibiotic therapy, the abscess was not subsided. At the culture and smear of aspirated abscess, Candida krusei was isolated. After antifungal medication and periodic aspiration of abscess, the abscess was completely subsided and the patient was discharged without any sequelae.
