Fungal infections of the urinary tract are increasing in incidence, mostly because of the increasing use of antibacterial agents and indwelling urinary catheters. This review will focus mainly on the spectrum of genitourinary infections caused by Candida spp., including asymptomatic candiduria, cystitis, pyelonephritis, and renal candidiasis. Special emphasis will be placed on the therapeutic approach to the various clinical entities. Other fungal infections, such as urinary aspergillosis and cryptococcosis will be discussed briefly.
