ABSTRACT
Fournier's gangrene is a rare entity caused by polymicrobial aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene caused by Candida as the primary organism. A 65-year-old man presented with perineal soft-tissue infections. He underwent surgical debridement and suprapubic cystostomy with both antifungal and antimicrobial therapy. The histopathologic examination revealed necrotizing fasciitis with Candida species as the sole initial pathogen. The case suggests that primary fungal pathogens should be considered as a causative organism of Fournier's gangrene.
