Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infection by Aspergillus species is an uncommon but potentially serious complication in post-menopausal women, often associated with recurrent UTIs or immunocompromise.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a deceased 67-year-old female with complaints of fever, abdominal pain, diabetes, hypertension, pain and burning during urination admitted to hospital. Microscopic examination confirmed the Aspergillus infection. The patient could not be followed up due to COVID.
Discussion: Urinary Tract infection with Aspergillus species is few and far occurrence. Especially combined with a medical history of non-immune compromises like diabetes, kidney dysfunction and hypertension. Voriconazole anti-fungal medicine worked well on patients with improved conditions. In spite of diabetes and other medical conditions, neutrophils and total lymphocyte count showed elevated levels, which need further studies.
Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and targeted antifungal therapy are essential in managing urinary tract infections caused by Aspergillus species in postmenopausal women to prevent complications.
Keywords: Aspergillus, Kidney dysfunction, Type II diabetes, Total leukocyte count, Case reports, UTI.
