    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus is a common condition associated with various complications.
    • Fungal infections, particularly Aspergillus, can affect multiple organ systems.
    • Renal colic is a painful condition caused by stones in the urinary tract.

    Observation:

    • A well-controlled diabetic patient presented with recurrent renal colic.
    • The patient passed soft masses per urethra, identified as Aspergillus fungus balls.
    • These fungal balls were obstructing the urinary tract, causing pain and discomfort.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis of Aspergillus fungus balls in the urinary tract of a diabetic patient.
    • Successful treatment of urinary tract fungal balls using amphotericin B.

  • Resolution of renal colic and negative urine cultures post-treatment.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for Aspergillus to cause urinary tract obstruction in diabetic patients.
    • Demonstrates the efficacy of amphotericin B in treating invasive fungal infections of the urinary system.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering fungal etiologies in patients with recurrent renal colic, especially those with diabetes.
