Key Points

To assess clinical and laboratory characteristics, as well as risk factors, associated with candiduria in pediatric patients.
Included children aged 1 month to 18 years with candiduria from January 2017 to June 2024.
Analyzed urine cultures for Candida species and associated risk factors.
Administered antifungal therapy and documented treatment duration and outcomes.
Identified 58 pediatric patients with Candida spp., predominately C. albicans (74.1%).
Common risk factors included urinary catheterization (63.7%), intensive care unit admission (60.3%), and prolonged antibiotic use (58.6%).
Median time to sterile urine culture was 4 days, with antifungal treatment lasting a median of 7 days.

Implication

Single-center evaluation of candiduria in children, highlighting risk factors and treatment outcomes.
