Candida albicans is the most prevalent and pathogenic fungal infection of the urinary tract. Although fungal urinary tract infection occur less frequently than bacterial infections, their incidence has increased during the last decades. Parenteral nutrition, corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs and prolonged antibiotic therapy are often predisposing factors. We report a case of renal pelvic fungus balls in a 6-month old female who developed candidal infection after surgical treatment for bilateral vesico-ureteric reflux; the renal candidiasis was treated successfully with fluconazole.

The patients with Arthrogryposis-Renal dysfunction-Cholestasis (ARC) syndrome have genetic susceptibility to the opportunistic infections due to the involvement of VPS33B (vacuolar protein sorting 33 homolog B) in phagolysosome fusion in macrophages. Detailed pathologic studies in ARC patients are missing in literature due to the lack of autopsy. We described the first autopsy case of ARC syndrome in a 2-month-old male infant.

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.
