Abstract:
We report on the case of a 22-year-old heroin-dependent diabetic woman. She presented with a gas-forming fungal infection of the kidney caused by Candida tropicalis. The patient was successfully treated by conservative means. Problems in the diagnosis and therapy of this rare disease are discussed.
