The purpose of the study is to explore the epidemiology, underlying diseases, indwelling catheter duration, laboratory data, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients with Candiduria.
The study is a retrospective study. Investigators will review medical records of patients with Candiduria from January 2015 to December 2017 to collect data about personal data, underlying diseases, indwelling catheter duration, laboratory data of urine routines and urine cultures, the symptom of fever, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. After the data collection, investigators will run a descriptive statistics to find out the profile of the medical care of Candiduria in Taiwan.
