INTRODUCTION: Candida empyema thoracis can be a consequence of operation, gastropleural fistula, and esophageal perforation. Case report and review of the literature. A fatal case of a 45-year-old pregnant woman with Candida krusei empyema thoracis secondary to spontaneous esophagus perforation associated with candida esophagitis is reported. The case is contextualized among similar cases found through a PubMed search. CONCLUSIONS: A suspect of esophagus rupture should arise in the presence of a fungal empyema. Candida esophagitis should be always considered as a possible cause or con-cause of esophagus rupture. An empirical systemic antimycotic therapy should always be considered in an ideal multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients with esophagus rupture.
