A case of pyelonephritis and bacteremia caused by Candida glabrata in a patient on sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, successfully treated with micafungin
Patients taking SGLT2 inhibitors may be more susceptible to urinary tract infections caused by Candida glabrata, and in cases of azole-resistant Candida spp. urinary tract infection, MCFG may be a treatment option when AmB or 5-FC is difficult to use.
