[Symptomatic renal candidiasis with multiple mycetomas: a case report].

: Candida albicans is the most prevalent and pathogenic fungal infection of the urinary tract. Although fungal urinary tract infection occur less frequently than bacterial infections, their incidence has increased during the last decades. Parenteral nutrition, corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs and prolonged antibiotic therapy are often predisposing factors. We report a case of renal pelvic fungus balls in a 6-month old female who developed candidal infection after surgical treatment for bilateral vesico-ureteric reflux; the renal candidiasis was treated successfully with fluconazole.
