COVID-19 complicated with acute renal failure due to mycotic bezoars in two children

OBJECTIVES: Patients with viral infection areat risk for secondary infections and/or co-infections. Ourstudy aims to describe coronavirus-disease-19 (COVID-19) associated with acute renal failure (ARF) secondary to fungalbezoar in urinary tract in two patients.

METHODS: A chart review of two patients with COVID-19 associated pneumonia admitted to an education and training hospital Istanbul, Turkey were evaluated.

RESULTS: On the first day of hospitalization, ARF was developed in both of them. Ultrasonography and computedtomography scan revealed image of urolithiasis and hydronephrosis. However, in their cystoscopies, there were densedebris materials leading to obstruction in calyceal system. Antifungal medication was added to the COVID-19 treatment due to the macroscopic aspect during the cystoscopy. Renal functions of the children were improved following the treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians caring for patients with COVID-19 should perform a comprehensive analysis to detect co-infections.
