Candida endophthalmitis and Candida pneumonia after trans‐urethral lithotripsy: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Invasive candidiasis may be one of the serious complications of transurethral lithotripsy. Candiduria before this procedure should be assessed, and antifungals should be prescribed. Abstract This case is about a 44‐year‐old diabetic female patient who, after trans‐urethral lithotripsy with double‐J stent insertion, was diagnosed with Candida pneumonia and Candida endophthalmitis.
