Abstract

The Phagocytosis of fungal structures by neutrophils is a well-documented function of these immune cells. However, neutrophil phagocytosis of hyphal structures in the urine sediment is not usually observed during routine sample evaluation. This is a case of hyphal phagocytosis by neutrophils in the urine of a kidney allograft recipient patient.<br />A fagocitose de estruturas fúngicas por neutrófilos é uma função bem documentada destas células imunes. No entanto, a fagocitose de hifas por neutrófilos no sedimento urinário não é normalmente observada durante avaliação de rotina de amostras. Este é um caso de fagocitose de hifas por neutrófilos na urina de um paciente receptor de aloenxerto renal.
