Summary

Renal candidal bezoar, a rare fungal obstruction in newborns, requires prompt surgical removal and antifungal treatment for recovery. Early surgical intervention is crucial for affected neonates.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Intensive Care Medicine
  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Renal candidal bezoars are infrequent but serious complications in neonatal intensive care units.
  • Fungal infections in neonates can lead to obstructive uropathy.

Observation:

  • A case of a neonate with a renal candidal bezoar causing obstruction is presented.
  • The neonate did not improve until surgical intervention was performed.

Findings:

  • Surgical removal of the obstructive fungal mass from the renal pelvis was necessary for resolution.
  • Local irrigation with amphotericin B was used as an adjunct treatment.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering surgical intervention for renal candidal bezoars in neonates.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management, including surgical options, can improve outcomes in these rare cases.
