Bilateral renal aspergillosis in an immunocompetent host

J Family Med Prim Care. 2017 Oct-Dec;6(4):873-875. doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_209_17.

Abstract

Bilateral primary renal aspergillosis is rare in immunocompetent hosts. The clinical presentation of Aspergillus pyelonephritis is similar to that of bacterial pyelonephritis. Here, we present an immunocompetent patient with primary bilateral renal abscesses due to Aspergillus fumigatus.

Keywords: Bilateral renal abscess; fungal renal abscess; primary renal aspergillosis.
