Renal Aspergillosis in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report
Keywords:
Renal aspergillosis, Aspergillus spp., Immunocompetent patientAbstract
Aspergillosis is an infectious disease caused by pathogenic mold in Genus Aspergillus which is common in immunocompromised individuals especially in neutropenic patients. However, aspergillosis in immunocompetent hosts is considered uncommon and renal aspergillosis in immunocompetent patients is a rare entity. We report here a case of right renal aspergillosis predisposing by renal instrumentation. The patient responded well with systemic voriconazole and stent removal.
