The presence of Candida species (spp) in the urine is frequent among hospitalized patients. It may represent contamination during collection, harmless colonization or a potentially life threatening infection. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of  candiduria in patients from Davangere and it’s adjoining areas attending a medical college teaching hospital in Davangere. Retrospective monocentric  study. Laboratory records of patients aged 15 yrs and above whose urine cultures were performed at Microbiology Department of  SSIMS&RC, Davangere. During the 1-year study period, 1442 urine samples cultured including 702 from males and 740 from females. Yeasts (Candida spp) were isolated in 74 samples(5.13%). It was more common in males( 55.41 %) as compared to females(44.59%). The principal risk factors that were observed in patients with candiduria included antibiotic therapy (72.97 %), indwelling urinary catheters (63.51%). Concurrent positive Endotracheal Tube (ET) Secretions culture for candida spp was observed among 4 Candiduria patients. All positive urine cultures for candida spp were found to be from hospitalized patients. Although candiduria is a common condition in hospitalized patients, very little is known about its natural history. Attending Physician in coordination with the practicing microbiologist should work up positive urine results for candida. Efforts to increase clinician awareness of current recommendations for managing candiduria and future long term studies to understand it’s natural history are warranted.
