title: [Obstructive candidiasis: a process with surgical solution].
abstract: We describe three severe clinic cases due to fungus balls of Candida albicans in hospitalized risky patients which presented a quickly clinical evolution. Because of their different local presentations medical and surgical management was needed. In the first case a intestinal fungus ball was found whereas in the other two cases were localized in the urinary tract. Here we present their clinical findings rather than their evolution after a medical and surgical management.
