Isolated renal mucormycosis is a rare entity in children. It is potentially fatal when not detected and managed early with antifungal therapy, and surgery as and when needed. We present two immunocompetent children who developed this infection and subsequently succumbed to it. The diagnosis was established postmortem on renal biopsy specimens. We also discuss the 9 cases of isolated renal involvement in children published in literature.
孤立性肾毛霉菌病在儿童中是一种罕见的疾病。如果不及早通过抗真菌治疗以及必要时进行手术检测和处理，它可能是致命的。我们报告了两名免疫功能正常的儿童，他们患上了这种感染并最终因此死亡。诊断是在对肾活检标本进行尸检后确定的。我们还讨论了文献中发表的9例儿童孤立性肾受累病例。
