Background: T2 magnetic resonance imaging (T2MR) is a new method for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis, although most studies have analyzed its role in patients with candidemia or not infection. Case report: We present the case of a patient with arteritis and thrombosis of the hepatic graft resulted from an undocumented fungal infection in the explanted liver.T2MR in serum was a suitable diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of the deep-seated invasive candidiasis in the absence of candidemia or the isolation of the yeast in culture. Conclusions: T2MR allowed the diagnosis of deep-seated invasive candidiasis in an immunodepressed patient without candidemia, even before the onset of symptoms.

Abstract
Background: T2 magnetic resonance imaging (T2MR) is a new method for the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis, although most studies have analyzed its role in patients with candidemia or not infection. Case report: We present the case of a patient with arteritis and thrombosis of the hepatic graft resulted from an undocumented fungal infection in the explanted liver.T2MR in serum was a suitable diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of the deep-seated invasive candidiasis in the absence of candidemia or the isolation of the yeast in culture. Conclusions: T2MR allowed the diagnosis of deep-seated invasive candidiasis in an immunodepressed patient without candidemia, even before the onset of symptoms.
