Özet
The improved intensive care standards for premature infants have increased the incidence of renal candidiasis which may cause pyelocaliceal fungal balls. In this study, a retrospective documentation of 3 patients with renal fungal balls was performed. In all three cases, the history, ultrasound findings, urine and blood cultures were the main diagnostic criteria. Parenteral amphotericin B therapy, nephrostomy decompression and nephrectomy in severe parenchymal destruction were performed as therapeutic modalities according to the presentation.
