A patient developed a severe urinary infection with Candida albicans following a cadaveric renal transplant operation. It was necessary to remove the graft and return the patient to regular hemodialysis treatment. The fungi infection was successfully eradicated by a single oral dose of 5-Fluorocytosine (20 mg/kg) after each dialysis treatment. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the drug had a dialyzate clearance ratio of 0.66 when compared with creatinine; the drug was not metabolized and there was no other route of elimination.
