Anuria in a newborn secondary to bilateral ureteropelvic fungus balls.
We report the first case of anuria in a 1-month-old male newborn associated with disseminated candidiasis. Anuria resulted from bilaterally obstructing Candida bezoars. Renal decompression was established with bilateral nephrostomy placement and the renal candidiasis was treated successfully with a combination of parenteral amphotericin B and 5-fluorocytosine.
