Renal fungal ball
P
reterm infants are prone to fungal
infections because of immaturity of their
host defence systems (immunology and
skin). Other risk factors include multiple
antibiotic therapy, prolonged use of umbili-
cal or percutaneous catheters, total parent-
eral nutrition, colonisation and/or past
mucocutaneous candidiasis, low birth
weight, endotracheal tube placement, and
congenital malformation.
Common sites for invasive candidiasis are
the renal system, eyes, brain, and heart.
Diagnostic tests should include blood and
urine cultures, renal ultrasound, ophthalmo-
logical assessment, cardiac ultrasound, and
examination of cerebrospinal fluid.
Candiduria may indicate colonisation, but
the presence of other clinical signs increases
the risk of invasive candidiasis. Fungal ball is
the commonest presentation of renal fungal
disease.1
Clinical presentation may vary and
can be obstructive, or non-obstructive, with
renal failure.
A baby born at 28 weeks gestation was
known to be colonised with Candida spp in
the first weeks of life. The mother had
declined routine antenatal care. The baby
was ventilator dependent, with umbilical
lines and received multiple broad spectrum
antibiotics for possible bacterial sepsis.
After one month the baby developed
thrombocytopenia and renal impairment. A
renal ultrasound confirmed the presence of a
solitary kidney with an echogenic mass.
Limited postmortem examination revealed
multiple abscesses in the renal parenchyma,
which grew Candida albicans only.
Invasive fungal infections in very low
birthweight babies are currently the subject
of a BPSU study (http://bpsu.inopsu.com/
current.htm#Invasive).

Renal fungal ball P reterm infants are prone to fungal infections because of immaturity of their host defence systems (immunology and skin). Other risk factors include multiple antibiotic therapy, prolonged use of umbili- cal or percutaneous catheters, total parent- eral nutrition, colonisation and/or past mucocutaneous candidiasis, low birth weight, endotracheal tube placement, and congenital malformation. Common sites for invasive candidiasis are the renal system, eyes, brain, and heart. Diagnostic tests should include blood and urine cultures, renal ultrasound, ophthalmo- logical assessment, cardiac ultrasound, and examination of cerebrospinal fluid. Candiduria may indicate colonisation, but the presence of other clinical signs increases the risk of invasive candidiasis. Fungal ball is the commonest presentation of renal fungal disease.1 Clinical presentation may vary and can be obstructive, or non-obstructive, with renal failure. A baby born at 28 weeks gestation was known to be colonised with Candida spp in the first weeks of life. The mother had declined routine antenatal care. The baby was ventilator dependent, with umbilical lines and received multiple broad spectrum antibiotics for possible bacterial sepsis. After one month the baby developed thrombocytopenia and renal impairment. A renal ultrasound confirmed the presence of a solitary kidney with an echogenic mass. Limited postmortem examination revealed multiple abscesses in the renal parenchyma, which grew Candida albicans only. Invasive fungal infections in very low birthweight babies are currently the subject of a BPSU study (http://bpsu.inopsu.com/ current.htm#Invasive).
