description Emphysematous gastritis is a rare, and often fatal, infection with unclear recommendations on management. We report the first documented case of emphysematous gastritis caused by Candida species in a patient on chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. Our patient, who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms was found to have gas in the stomach wall, peri-gastric, and portal veins on CT scan. Nasogastric tube cultures grew Candida albicans and Candida glabrata and the patient was treated with antibiotics and antifungals. Prompt recognition and conservative management led to a favorable outcome.
