Invasive candidal balanitis due to a condom catheter in a neutropenic patient.

Abstract
A 58-year-old man with acute leukemia had balanitis and penile ulceration due to Candida tropicalis after a condom catheter was used because of urinary incontinence. This case illustrates that condom catheters can be associated with serious complications in neutropenic patients and should be used only when absolutely necessary.
