- Invasive fungal infections, especially candidemia and systemic candidiasis, have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the last few decades. Invasive candidiasis accounts for up to from 15 to 30% of all nosocomial infections in critically ill patients. Management of these severe infections has been challenging due to a lack of rapid and reliable diagnostic methods, leading to delay in initiating appropriate antifungal therapy. We report a case of 63 year-old male suggesting right acute pyelonephritis with upper ureteral stone and finally identified systemic candidiasis invading to both eyes.

Abstract

- Genitourinary tuberculosis contributes to 10-14% of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The most common site of genital tuberculosis is the epididymis. Prostate tuberculosis is uncommon and is usually found incidentally following transurethral resection. A 78 year old man was admitted to our hospital with painless gross hematuria. Urine culture and cytology was negative, but serum prostate specific antigen was 29.7 ng/ml. Prostate biopsy demonstrated prostatitis and nodular hyperplasia. Transurethral prostatectomy was performed and histology revealed prostate tuberculosis.

Abstract

- "Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of transrectal ultrasonogram guided needle aspiration and drainage of prostatic abscess. Material and Methods: From January, 2005 to June, 2007, six patients who were diagnosed as prostate abscess and treated in Chosun University Hospital were examined. Assessment parameters included associated disease, symptoms, analysis of midstream urine, blood, and aspirated abscess for leukocyte and common pathogen, digital rectal examination, transrectal sonography, and abdomen-pelvic CT. Managment of prostatic abscess included broad-spectrum antibiotics with or without transrectal ultrasonogram guided needle aspiration. During the follow up, transrectal ultrasound examination and abdomen-pelvic CT, urine analysis and urine culture were performed on an outpatient basis. Result: For all patients, antibiotic therapy and suprapubic cystostomy were performed. Of six patients, four patients received transrectal ultrasonogram guided needle aspiration additionally. One patient was treated by transrectal ultrasonogram guided needle aspiration after the initial treatment of transurethral incision of the prostate was failed. All patients were treated effectively without complications. Conclusion: It is suggested that transrectal ultrasonogram guided needle aspiration is relatively safe and has high success rates regardless of the size, number, and location of abscess."
