Fungal Urinary Tract Infections
Key Points
Fungal UTI affects mainly patients who have urinary tract obstruction or instrumentation, immunocompromise (including diabetes), or both. Suspect fungal UTI in patients at risk or with candidemia who have clinical or laboratory findings consistent with UTI. Use antifungal drug therapy only if patients will undergo urologic manipulation or have symptoms, neutropenia, or renal allografts.
