[Renal failure in an infant due to bilateral ureter obstruction by Candida albicans pyelonephritis (author's transl)].
In the course of Candida albicans pyelonephritis an infant devleoped acute renal failure as a result of bezoar production with bilateral obstruction of the ureters. As on the one hand "obstructive" Candida pyelonephritis is not a well-recognised cause of renal failure, and on the other a noticeable increase in the number of cases of serious Candida infection with pyelonephritis can be observed during antibiotic and immmunosuppressive therapy, it seems worthwhile to report this case.
