Author ProfileAbstract
Candidemia is possibly complicated with a biofilm formation, and the
mortality rate of biofilm-associated candidemia is reported very high.
Herein, we described candida biofilm-related thrombophlebitis, which was
successfully treated with micafungin. This case suggested that biofilm
targeted therapy may be warranted in the presence of thrombus formation.
