&NA;Infection of cerebrospinal fluid shunts withCandida albicansis reported in two patients. Scanning electron microscopy in one case demonstrates the relationship of theCandidahyphae to the white blood cells and to silicone plastic. A review of 10 previously reported cases ofCandidashunt infection indicates that the infection usually follows a major bacterial infection or direct contamination or occurs spontaneously, Previous therapy has usually involved removal of the shunt, and the role of parenteral antifungal therapy is still unclear. Overall mortality to date is 25%. (Neurosurgery19:111‐113, 1986)
