Results: The group of patients aged 60 years and older accounted for more than half of the studied sample (55.7%), the oldest age was 90 years old and the youngest was 23 years old, the average age was 60.12 ± 14.43. Of which, women accounted for 61.4% and Kinh people made up the majority at 70.2%. Renal failure accounted for 10.1%, diabetes mellitus accounted for the highest rate of associated diseases surveyed at 22.1%.

Conclusion: In a total of 158 subjects participating in the study, when cultured in Sabouraud agar, the rate of urinary tract fungal infection was 16.5%.
