Fungal Ball Masquerading as a Renal Stone in a Preterm Infant- A Case Report

Abstract

We are reporting an interesting case of 67 days old infant, referred to us for anuria since 24 hours with ultrasoundsuggestive of bilateral renal stones. The baby was stabilized with immediate peritoneal dialysis and later operated forpyeloplasty, which showed multiple fungal balls obstructing the ureteric orifice. The baby was born premature at 30weeks of gestation, requiring NICU stay for 30 days. Baby received systemic antifungals for 6 weeks with favourable outcome. One should keep high index of suspicion for fungal infection in any premature neonate who requires prolongedNICU stay or might have received multiple broad-spectrum antibiotics.

Keywords
