Abstract

A 35 year old apparently immunocompetent, farmer developed isolated bilateral renal aspergillosis. He presented with acute renal failure due to granulomatous interstitial nephritis and had bilateral renal abscesses on CT scan. Diagnosis came from renal histology and was confirmed on serology. The patient responded quite satisfactorily to single agent antifungal chemotherapy with IV amphotericin B.
