    Author: Khemakhem B, Kanoun F, Ben Jemaa M, Maaloul I, Ben Arab N, Marrekchi C, Ayedi A, Ben Hamed S.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 2001 Mar; 152(2):134-6. PubMed ID: 11357050.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of Candida glabrata perinephric abscess in a patient with diabetes mellitus who recently underwent ureteropelvic surgery for lithiasic urinary tract obstruction. Surgical drainage and amphotericin B treatment led to resolution of the infection. C. glabrata urinary infection has become more prevalent over the last decade in immunocompromised patients. Drainage is indicated for development of a fungal abscess in the perinephric area. Most authors recommend administration of an antifungal adjuvant treatment.
