Transient monoclonal gammopathy induced by Candida fungemia

A 41-year-old woman was admitted for Candida fungemia. On hospital day 4, a routine complete blood count and peripheral smear showed circulating plasma cells. Initial work up showed an M-component on serum protein electrophoresis with 6% lambda-predominate plasma cells by flow cytometry. The patient was treated with intravenous antifungal therapy. Her six month follow up laboratory evaluation revealed resolution of the M-component and only rare polyclonal plasma cells in peripheral blood by flow cytometry.
