Abstract
Candida infection should be considered in an individual with a pelvic abscess that is unresponsive to conventional antibiotic therapy, particularly in the presence of an intrauterine device. We present a case of a tuboovarian abscess caused by Candida species in a woman with an intrauterine device for >10 years. Surgical intervention followed by antifungal therapy resulted in a favorable outcome.
