| Popis: |
A 65-year-old lady was admitted with urosepsis and imaging suggesting right sided hydronephrosis secondary to a filling defect consistent with a fungal bezoar. An indwelling urinary catheter and a right percutaneous nephrostomy tube were inserted. Candida glabrata cultured from urine was resistant to fluconazole. Amphotericin B was instilled into the renal pelvis via the nephrostomy tube while intravenous liposomal amphotericin was administered daily along with oral flucytosine. This multi-modal antifungal administration was continued for 14 days. Clinical and biochemical improvement was achieved and repeat imaging showed complete resolution of the filling defects and hydronephrosis. |
