  • Title: [Fungus-ball in a preterm infant successfully treated with fluconazole].
    Author: Hershman-Sarafov M, Tubi O, Srugo I, Bader D.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1998 Jan 01; 134(1):28-30, 78. PubMed ID: 9517275.
    Abstract:
    Very-low-birth-weight premature infants are at high risk for invasive candidiasis. The most commonly involved organ is the kidney. Renal candidiasis may present as fungus-ball obstructive uropathy. We describe unilateral renal obstruction secondary to fungus-ball in a premature infant. Noninvasive, systemic antibiotic treatment, including amphotericin B and fluconazole, resulted in disappearance of the finding.
