Abstract
Primary renal aspergillosis is an extremely rare entity. Only 19 cases have been reported, 3 of them in patients with AIDS. We report one new case of renal aspergillosis in a patient with AIDS. His disease pattern was multiple bilateral renal abscesses with a normal excretory pathway. The treatment established was percutaneous drainage and systemic antifungal drugs. He had a bad evolution and died 14 weeks after diagnosis. In the previously reported cases of aspergillosis in patients with AIDS, the manifestation was unilateral renal abscess.
