Abstract

Infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant patients and can be prevented by regular screening after transplantation. Candidiasis is common after renal transplantation and candida albicans is the most isolated species. The clinical presentation isn’t specific and sometimes asymptomatic. The etiological investigation is guided by epidemiological data specific to this population and by an analysis of individual risk factors as well as a mycological study which constitutes the key examination for positive diagnosis and resistance to antifungal agents. In this study, we report the results of a screening program for asymptomatic candiduria in renal transplant patients at the Mohammed VI University Hospital of Marrakech (Morocco).
