We report the first case, to our knowledge, of C andida arteritis in a liver transplant recipient. The patient presented with hemorrhagic shock requiring emergency arterial repair. As C andida albicans , C andida tropicalis , and C andida glabrata were growing in the arterial tissue, the patient received antifungal therapy for 5 months, but died because of chronic graft dysfunction. No evidence of fungal infection was found in the tissue on postmortem examination.
