| Popis: | We report 4 cases of fungal cystitis. All patients had severe urgency, frequency and nocturia with sterile pyuria and microhematuria. Significant fungal growth was observed on routine blood agar cultur. Bladder biopsy was necessary to rule out tumor. Of the patients none responded to watchful waiting, 1 responded to intermittent daily bladder instillation of amphortericin B, 2 improved with oral 5-fluorocytosine, in addition to amphotericin B bladder instillations, and 1 required intravenous amphotericin B after unsuccessful response to 5-fluorocytosine and amphotericin B bladder treatments. |
