Urinary tract candidiasis in neonates and infants

Abstract

The results question the role of surgery, which may be limited to the relief of primary urological obstruction. We advocate the use of oral fluconazole to prevent or treat early systemic infection and, for severe systemic infections, a prolonged course of fluconazole in combination with flucytosine should be considered as an alternative to amphotericin, which is toxic and can only be given intravenously.
