Renal aspergillosis: a report of two cases.
Two cases of opportunistic aspergillosis of the kidney are presented. One patient, a child with unsuspected chronic granulomatous disease of childhood, presented with a renal mass which proved to be an abscess secondary to aspergillosis. The other patient, a terminal leukemic, had a renal vein thrombosis secondary to invasion of the renal vein by aspergillosis. Aspergillosis and other fungal diseases of the kidney should be considered in debilitated patients with an abnormal urogram.
