[Obstructive anuria due to renal candidiasis in a newborn male (author's transl)]

Mechanical anuria developed in a neonate during a period of intensive care following birth trauma. The obstruction of the urinary tract was due to yeast clumps from a candida pyelonephritis. Urine flow was reestablished after a unilateral nephrostomy and antimycotic therapy. There were no anatomical abnormalities of the urinary tract.
