description Candida spp. brain abscess is scare. Clinical presentation is unspecific. Diagnosis requires mycological culture of a puncture or biopsy specimen. Therapeutic management is based on prolonged course of azole or liposomal amphotericin B. We reported the case of Candida glabrata brain abscess in a 27 year-old female patient, with no past history and not secondary to candidemia. The fungus was isolated from a puncture of abscess with complete resection. The outcome was favorable under antifungal treatment by voriconazole.
