[Candida glabrata perinephric abscess. A case report].

We report a case of Candida glabrata perinephric abscess in a patient with diabetes mellitus who recently underwent ureteropelvic surgery for lithiasic urinary tract obstruction. Surgical drainage and amphotericin B treatment led to resolution of the infection. C. glabrata urinary infection has become more prevalent over the last decade in immunocompromised patients. Drainage is indicated for development of a fungal abscess in the perinephric area. Most authors recommend administration of an antifungal adjuvant treatment.
