摘要
We report a case of multiple fungal renal abscesses in a 36-year-old woman with a history of diabetes and intravenous substance use disorder. The patient presented with fever and hematuria, and was found to be bacteremic and fungemic. She was initially managed with broad-spectrum antibiotics and antifungals. She remained febrile and imaging on treatment day 14 showed no improvement of the renal abscesses. Thus, a nephrectomy was performed, after which the patient defervesced and follow-up blood cultures were negative. There is a paucity of literature regarding management of multifocal fungal renal abscesses that fail to respond to medical management.
