Emphysematous cystitis is an uncommon life-threatening disease, which often occurs in patients with diabetes mellitus or neurogenic bladder. Bacterial etiologies are common, while cases by Candida species have been very rarely reported. To date, only six cases of Candida albicans related emphysematous cystitis have been reported; two cases resulted in bladder repture and the causative organisms were non-albicans Candida species. We report the first case of emphysematous cystitis caused by Candida albicans accompanying a spontaneous bladder rupture with the review of literatures
