Abstract
Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare disease of the bladder, for which there is no clear cause or standard treatment. We report the case of a 61 year old man who presented with irritative voiding symptoms and gross hematuria. Cystoscopy showed diffuse urothelial erythema and a posterior bladder wall ulcer. Bladder biopsy revealed marked eosinophilic cystitis with ulceration. Urine culture grew Candida glabrata. After treatment with oral fluconazole, his voiding symptoms resolved and subsequent bladder biopsy revealed a complete dearth of eosinophils. This is the first case report linking eosinophilic cystitis to Candida glabrata.
