Abstract
A study of immunofluorescence of yeast in the urine was carried out in 18 patients with funguria in an effort to correlate gamma globulin coating with evidence of tissue invasion or as an indicator for institution of therapy. Positive immunofluorescence of yeast in urine is common but is neither indicative of upper urinary tract yeast invasion nor a useful guideline for beginning treatment.
