Fungal osteomyelitis is rare and usually seen in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of Candida parapsilosis osteomyelitis in an immunocompetent patient with no prior surgical history. He went for spinal laminectomy with debridement and drainage. Intraoperative culture grew C. parapsilosis, and the patient was treated with fluconazole.
