Abstract:
Candida albicans cystitis is an uncommon but well described complication of modern therapeutics. The significance of systemic factors in the defense of the urinary tract against candidal infection is unknown. However, secretions from the prostate grand in men and from periurethral glands in women have been reported to be fungistatic. Conditions that predispose to candiduria include diabetes mellitus, antibiotic and corticosteroid therapy and disturbance of urine flow. Cystoscopy with bladder biopsy are necessary to rule out bladder tumor. We report a case of BPH with candidal cystitis and review the relevant literatures.
