title: A case of Candida glabrata severe urinary sepsis successfully treated with micafungin.
abstract: Candida glabrata is frequently resistant to fluconazole, and in advanced renal failure the safe use of this and other recommended drugs is limited. We report a case of a 56 years-old diabetic woman with renal failure and severe urinary sepsis from C. glabrata successfully treated with micafungin.
