Candida Parapsilosis associated rice bodies in the extensor compartment of the wrist––an emerging finding

Candida parapsilosis has been considered an emerging pathogen with increasing incidence reported in the literature. As a normal commensal of human skin, it is likely that Candida species could gain access to soft tissues of the hand and wrist by direct inoculation, resulting in an infectious tenosyn...
