Two very low birth weight infants who developed renal candidiasis with pelvicalyceal fungal concretions were treated medically with Amphotericin B and 5 Fluorocytosine. Two months following cessation of therapy, the fungal concretions decreased in size, became sterile and developed calcification in residual debris. The calcifications was still present at demise in one patient and at 18 months follow up in the other. These calcifications occurred in the absence of simultaneous furosemide therapy.

Objective: Intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) is difficult to predict in elderly septic patients with intra-abdominal infection (IAI). This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on lymphocyte subtyping and clinical factors for the early and rapid prediction of IAC in elderly septic patients.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of 284 consecutive elderly patients diagnosed with sepsis and IAI was performed.

Article Synopsis
- * A 78-year-old male with dysphagia underwent several diagnostic procedures, ultimately confirming a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after various initial findings were misattributed to less severe conditions.
- * The rapid progression of the disease in this patient underscored the need for prompt recognition of primary oesophageal lymphoma, especially in older individuals, and ultimately shifted the focus to palliative care due to the aggressive nature of the illness.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to summarize infection characteristics and risk factors in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) through a comprehensive analysis of relevant research articles.
- In total, 41 studies involving over 5,000 AAV patients revealed that over half experienced some form of infection, with respiratory infections being the most prevalent and severe infections affecting around 35.8% of patients.
- Key risk factors included older age, underlying health conditions (like diabetes and end-stage renal disease), and specific treatments (like cyclophosphamide and high glucocorticoid doses), highlighting the need for careful management and awareness of common infections in AAV patients.
