Summary
Fungal pyelonephritis is rare, especially in elderly men without systemic disease. Obstructive uropathy may predispose to this infection, leading to fungemia, with varied treatment outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Mycology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Fungal pyelonephritis, particularly from Candida and Torulopsis, is uncommon.
- Typically affects diabetic females or immunosuppressed patients.
- This study focuses on elderly males with obstructive uropathy.
