Figure 1c. Systemic candidiasis. (a) Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan shows bilateral pleural effusions (arrows) and a pericardial effusion (arrowhead), nonspecific findings that are consistent with Candida involvement in the chest. (b) CT scan shows countless 1-mm hypoattenuating areas throughout the liver and spleen in a predominantly peripheral distribution (arrows), a finding that is consistent with Candida microabscesses. (c) CT scan demonstrates multiple similar hypoattenuating areas in the right kidney (arrows) that also proved to be Candida abscesses.
