[Urinary candidiasis revealed by ureteral obstruction: report of 2 cases]

Abstract

There has been an increase in the frequency of candidiasis urinary infections, which mainly affect diabetic or immunodepressed patients. However, the obstruction of the upper urinary tract by fungal infection is a rare occurrence. The introduction of novel antifungal agents has improved the treatment of fungal infection. In this study, two cases have been reported of urinary candidiasis infections with obstruction of the upper urinary tract which were successfully treated with fluconazole in combination with ureteral catheterization.
