Mycotic infection of urinary tract with an exception of balanoposthitis mycotica are not frequent in current practice, however they are always serious. Not circumcised man is usually infected during an intercourse with a partner suffering mycosis of vulva and vagina and presents clinically as mycotic balanitis (balanoposthitis mycotica), or possibly as urethritis (urethritis non-specifica, u. mycotica). Circumcised man is infected rarely and must have clinical predisposition (long term exposure, imunodeficit). In female primary infection is located in vagina and secondary in urinary tract, but only in case of underlying disposition (inborn defect of urinary tract, systemic disease, immune disorders or malignities). A major clinical impact of these infections carry patients with immune deficits (after transplantations, malignancies, inborn immune disorders, in intensive care units, cathetrized patients), when the most frequent source of infection is gastrointestinal tract. In predisposed patients fungemia has fatal course in 5–37 %.
Keywords: Key words: mycosis, aspergillosis, candidiasis, zygomycosis, urogenital tract.
