ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED Neonatal renal candidiasis is an increasingly common condition affecting predominantly premature infants receiving neonatal intensive care or term infants with urogenital tract anomalies. CASE REPORT a female infant was born by cesarian section at 30 weeks' gestation to a mother whose pregnancy had been complicated by rupture of membranes for 5 days. The infant was admitted at birth, maternofetal bacterial infection was suspected, and intravenous antibiotics were prescribed. The patient developed sepsis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae at the age of 13 days. She was referred to our hospital at the age of 50 days because of renal abscess. At admission, the baby presented with hypothermia and abdominal distention. Renal ultrasonography findings were compatible with fungal disease. Blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid cultures were negative for fungi; however, galactomannan antigen blood levels were increased. Amphotericin B was administered for 6 weeks. End-organ evaluation of the heart, brain, and eyes did not demonstrate disseminated infection. The patient was discharged with a prescription for oral fluconazole and remained well at follow-up.
