Abstract (2. Language): 
Renal candidiasis with fungal bezoars in the newborn infant İs rarely encountered. We report a newborn with renal candidiasis and posterior uretral valve trcated by local irrigation of the kidneys (three weeks) with amphotericin B vİa percutaneously inserted nephrostomy catheter, in combination with intravenous flucanazol (four weeks). Renal function subsequently impro-ved and fungal bezoars disappeared sonographically. No side effects were observed during the foIlow up. We suggest that local irrigation with amphotericin B in combination with systemic flucanazol may be ihe iniüal treatment of renal candidiasis, aiming at both the restoration of renal function and the eradication of the fungal İnfection.
