Vesical fungus ball is a mobile, oval and echogenic mass as a result of accumulation of long and wide numerous hyphae. Fungal urinary tract infection incidence has increased notoriously and there are isolated yeast in 7 to 8% of urine cultures. Different species of Candida are cause of urinary tract infection. Epidemiologically, the first isolated pathogen is Candida albicans, followed by Candida tropicalis. Bladder poll has been documented as the most important risk factor for candiduria in critical patients into intensive care.
膀胱真菌球是一种可移动的、椭圆形且呈强回声的团块，由大量长而宽的菌丝聚集而成。真菌性尿路感染的发病率显著增加，在7%至8%的尿培养中可分离出酵母菌。不同种类的念珠菌是尿路感染的病因。从流行病学角度来看，首先分离出的病原体是白色念珠菌，其次是热带念珠菌。在重症监护病房的重症患者中，膀胱插管已被证明是念珠菌尿最重要的危险因素。
