Renal candidiasis of the infant: ultrasound evaluation
Abstract:
Sonographic diagnosis of 3 cases of renal candidiasis led to early diagnosis and treatment. Echogenic densities within a dilated pyelocalyceal system appeared to be the classic finding for obstructing candidal bezoars or candidal pyonephrosis in the premature neonate. Sonography was useful in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous nephrostomies of very premature (900 and 750 g) infants. The ultrasonic findings of moderate echogenicity within dilated collecting systems in premature infants suggest pyonephrosis. Candidiasis should be considered as a prime cause.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
