Renal abscess due to Aspergillus fumigatus in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Disseminated aspergillosis is a systemic fungal infection that may occur in previously healthy or immunocompromised patients. The condition, although rare, is being recognized with increasing frequency in persons with the human immunodeficiency virus. Clinical genitourinary involvement is unusual. We present a case of renal abscess for Aspergillus fumigatus in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who complained of flank pain and fever.
