RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Ruan, Sheng-Yuan A1 Chien, Jung-Yien A1 Hsueh, Po-RenYR 2008 T1 Persistent Candida parapsilosis funguria associated with an indwelling urinary tract stent for more than 7 years JF Journal of Medical Microbiology, VO 57 IS 12 SP 1585 OP 1587 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.2008/003202-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1473-5644, AB Candiduria is an increasingly common condition, and the lack of effective antifungal treatment in many cases has raised great concern. We report a case of persistent Candida parapsilosis funguria associated with urinary tract instrumentation. Molecular typing suggested that during a 7 year period the C. parapsilosis isolates were all the same strain. Prolonged antifungal therapy and regular catheter replacement failed to eradicate the funguria, but improved urinary symptoms and pyuria. The antifungal susceptibility pattern did not significantly change during the clinical course despite repeated exposure to fluconazole., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.2008/003202-0
