Abstract

Urinary tract infection by Candida Albicans is a severe condition that can occur in infants during the course of a preterm or intensive care hospitalization. Candidiasis can affect the kidney and dramatically impair renal function through involvement of the renal cortex, typically associated with potentially obstructive pelvi-caliceal fungus balls. This case report describes the case of a 4.5-month girl who developed renal candidiasis one week after her admission for upper respiratory tract infection. To manage the risk of urinary tract obstruction by fungus balls, several options were discussed and a conservative approach preferred to surgery that has a potential long-term impact on renal growth, proved effective.
