A less frequent affection of urogenital tract - mycotic infection

Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

Mycotic infections of the urogenital tract are not so frequent in common practice, except for balanoposthitis mycotoca. However, in any case, there are several such infections.

An uncircumcised male is usually infected during coitus with a partner suffering from vulvovaginal mycosis with clinical signs of mycotic balanitis (balanoposthitis mycotica) and/or urethridis (urethritis non-specifica, urogenital mycotica). An circumcised male falls ill rarely and must have an inclination for infection.

As for females, the coles femininus is usually affected and then the urinary tract. However, females fall ill with mycotic inflammation of the lower urinary tract only if indisposed.

Mycosis plays a principal role in patients with immunodeficiency when the gastrointestinal tract is a common source of infection.
