[Isolated renal aspergillosis in a leukemic boy].
The authors described a 6 years old boy suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and treated by the B.F.M. protocol who presented during intensive chemotherapy period a aspergillus renal abscess apparently unique. During the postoperative period the evolution was progressively favorable under prolonged anti-fungal treatment. The different clinical features, the non facilities of diagnosis and the mean possibility of treatment in aspergillus infection in immunodeficient patients are reviewed.
