Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Candiduria is rare in newborns and infants, occurring most often in patients with risk factors. When associated with a candidal bezoar in the urinary tract, candiduria is usually treated by systemic amphotericin B and flucytosine plus local irrigation with amphotericin B. We describe the successful treatment of five newborns with a urinary tract infection, on major urological malformations, due to Candida albicans (including three with a candidal bezoar) by fluconazole alone. No adverse effects or recurrences were observed. Fluconazole therapy permits early discharge from the hospital and seems suitable for infants and newborns with a C. albicans urinary tract infection. |
