Presentation
Abstract A brief review of the literature on urinary tract candidiasis is presented. The presence of Candida albicans in the urine is rather uncommon and most patients have candiduria without any apparent disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sometimes lesions can be seen and cancer has been present, although it has not be proven that the candida caused the cancer. [naturalcandidacleansing.com]
Clinical Presentation The anatomic location of the UTI is germane to etiology and clinical presentation. [auanet.org]
We present the first case of bladder rupture attributed to a Candida albicans bezoar. A 79-year-old diabetic man with neurogenic bladder and indwelling Foley catheter presented with 4 days of fever and altered mentation. [journals.lww.com]
We attempted to present such a case and discuss the various cases of bladder candidiasis due to candida tropicalis. [urotoday.com]

Workup
(See Workup.) Successful emergent management includes selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy with recommendations for follow-up care. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Bottom Line Asymptomatic funguria is a common clinical finding, one in which further workups or the administration of antifungal therapy is not necessary in most cases. Symptomatic funguria always requires treatment. TH Dr. [the-hospitalist.org]
Underlying uropathies requiring surgical correction are much more common, particularly in males with pyelonephritis, so a more extensive workup is required to prevent reoccurrence. 3. [atsu.edu]

Prognosis
What Is the Prognosis? Once treatment starts, most candidiasis infections get better within about 2 weeks. Recurrences are fairly common. Long-lasting thrush is sometimes related to pacifiers. [healthychildren.org]
Prognosis Even with effective antibiotic treatment, the average duration of severe symptoms in women with cystitis is somewhat longer than 3 days. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Symptoms of interstitial cystitis have been reported to persist even following complete removal of the bladder, resulting in what can be described as a “phantom bladder pain.” 5 Prognosis Most urinary tract infections can be treated successfully without [soc.ucsb.edu]

Etiology
Use Additional Use Additional Help Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10data.com]
The presence of pyuria generally indicates true infection if other etiologies, such as bacterial infection, have been excluded. [antiinfectivedrugs.com]
Currently the majority of fungal urinary tract infections involve Candia albicans, however, non-albicans Candida and non-Candida yeasts are increasing as the etiological cause. [ispub.com]
