Abstract:
Renal candidial infections have been described in the literature in susceptible populations of all age groups. Systemic antifungal agents have been successful in treating these patients, but in the presence of an obstructed kidney, antegrade (perurethral) or retrograde (percutaneous) drainage of the pelvicaliceal system is mandatory to salvage the kidney. An aggressive percutaneous endoscopic approach for the management of such a case in a young diabetic patient with multiple comorbidities is described here with initial success.
