The few cases described previously were secondary to candidemia, especially in immunocompromised hosts. We describe two patients who presented with hydroureteronephrosis and were diagnosed with candida-associated renal papillary necrosis. Both patients had a history of severe COVID-19 infection within the past year and had been treated with immunosuppressants. Both patients underwent double J stenting and anti-fungal treatment with fluconazole. One patient recovered completely, while the other patient who had chronic kidney disease stage 4 at diagnosis progressed to dialysis-dependent renal failure later following an episode of bacterial sepsis. The incidence of candida-associated renal papillary necrosis may reflect the immunomodulatory effects of COVID-19, immunosuppressants, or a combination of both.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.56305\/001c.94453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,1]],"date-time":"2024-04-01T11:48:54Z","timestamp":1711972134000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Candida-Associated Renal Papillary Necrosis Following Severe COVID-19 Infection"],"prefix":"10.56305","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Ranjani","family":"Ravi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cosmopolitan Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India","department":["Nephrology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5332-0978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aravind","family":"Reghukumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Government Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India","department":["Infectious Diseases"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vimala","family":"A","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cosmopolitan Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India","department":["Nephrology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sreeja S","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cosmopolitan Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India","department":["Nephrology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinsi","family":"N","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cosmopolitan Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India","department":["Nephrology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Indu","family":"S","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cosmopolitan Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India","department":["Department of Microbiology"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"35509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"ref1","first-page":"119","article-title":"Candidal renal papillary necrosis: report of a case and review","volume":"37","author":"Y.F.
