Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Candida parapsilosis is an exceedingly rare cause of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt infection, even in patients who have a history of long‐term antibiotic use, immune‐compromised newborns, and intensive care unit patients. We hereby report a case of a 53‐year‐old male who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and had a complicated postoperative course due to C. parapsilosis infection, and we discuss the pertinent clinical aspects.
