Candida albicans urocystitis in a cat.
Candida albicans urocystitis secondary to urethral stricture and administration of antibiotics was diagnosed in a cat by fungal culturing of urine and examination of specimens. Surgical repair of the stricture and administration of 5-fluorocytosine resulted in resolution of the cystitis. Related problems included anorexia and severe weight loss, which necessitated enteral nutritional support, dehydration, renal disease, and nosocomial Pseudomonas aeruginosa urocystitis.
