[Renal candidal bezoar: case report and review of the literature]. / Un cas de bézoard candidosique rénal.

Candida infection is a relatively common hematogenous nosocomial infection in immunocompromised patients. However, renal disease remains unusual. The mode of presentation in the case reported herein was lumbar pain with fever and hydronephrosis of the left kidney due to a fungal bezoar in the renal pelvis. Clinical and biological suspicion of this disease must quickly lead to ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis.
