Özet

Candidiasis is an increasingly common problem which can cause severe morbidity in neonatal intensive care units. A premature neonate with renal fungus ball is presented. The patient was hospitalized for 45 days in the neonatal intensive care unit and 15 days in the department of neurosurgery. Later, a hyperechogenic focus located within the left renal pelvis was revealed on ultrasonograhy and Candida albicans was identified in the urine culture. He was (discharged ofter success fully) treated with fluconasole. In this case report, it is emphasized that renal fungus ball can also develop without candidemia in preterm infants and ultrasonography is a significantly important method for early diagnosis and follow-up.
