| Title | Refractory urinary tract and vulvovaginal infection caused by Candida krusei. | | Author(s) | Sivasubramanian G, Sobel JD | | Institution | Division of Infectious Diseases, Wayne State University School of Medicine, 3990 John R Street, Detroit, MI, 48201, USA. | | Source | Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct 2009 Nov; 20(11):1379-81. | | Abstract | Candida krusei is an uncommon cause of vaginitis and cystitis but is unique because of the management challenge it poses due to intrinsic resistance to fluconazole and flucytosine. We report a case of C. krusei vaginitis and cystitis successfully managed with topical vaginal and intravesical amphotericin B. The challenges in managing C. krusei cystitis and the role of amphotericin B bladder irrigation in the management of fungal urinary tract infections are discussed. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
