Abstract: | Objective To examine the safety and efficacy of fluconazole in patients with a permanent nephrostomy or suprapubic catheter in the prevention of candiduria. Patients and methods Twenty patients with a nephrostomy or suprapubic catheter who had at least two positive urine cultures with a minimum of 15 000 col/mL Candida counts were studied. The catheters were irrigated with fluconazole solution prepared as 1 mg/mL with normal saline. Repeated wine cultures were obtained. Results In 17 patients Candida was eradicated from the urine by the third to sixth day of irrigation. No side-effects were noted. Conclusion Fluconazole as an irrigant is effective and safe in the treatment of catheter-associated candiduria, which can be eliminated without changing the catheter. |
