ABSTRACT
Candida is a saprophytic fungus in the human host. However, in an immune- suppressed host, the organism can become pathogenic. The most common site of end organ involvement in premature infants with candidemia is the kidneys. A conglomeration of fibrillar hyphae results in fungus balls, which may cause a urinary tract obstruction and acute renal failure in premature infants. We recently experienced two cases of premature infants who had fungus balls in their urinary tracts. They were treated successfully with percutaneous nephrostomy, in combination with antifungal agents.
