AB  - Infections caused by Candida species have shown a considerable increase in 
      frequency in the recent past, and hence they are a cause of significant concern 
      among medical practitioners. There are many factors that contribute to the 
      occurrence of Candida-related infections in particular groups of patients. In 
      this report, we present a case that highlights the causes and appropriate 
      treatment methods of the condition. Patients with acute necrotizing cholecystitis 
      often show poor outcomes after treatment, and hence physicians need to be alert 
      when dealing with patients with this condition and should provide the best 
      treatment method. We report a case of necrotizing cholecystitis in a 55-year-old 
      female with a medical history of cholelithiasis, obesity, seizures, cocaine 
      abuse, and anemia. She also reported lower abdominal pain, felt bloated, and 
      complained of headache, dizziness, lack of appetite, shortness of breath, and 
      vomiting. The patient underwent several lab tests as well as a CT scan of the 
      abdomen, hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan, endoscopy, and 
      cholecystectomy.
