Abstract
Medical care of the hospital patient has become increasingly complicated due to the rising incidence of risk factors for opportunistic infection. With intravenous drug use, HIV infection, and alcoholism complicating an immunocompromised host such as a diabetic, fungal and mycobacterial infections are no longer as rare as in previous reports. The authors present a case of Candida osteomyelitis in a patient with multiple risk factors for opportunistic infection.
