[IgA deficiency and multiple Staphylococcus aureus perirenal abscesses. A case report].
The authors report the case of a patient with IgA deficiency who presented with a low-grade renal abscess. Due to the atypical nature of the clinical features and imaging, the diagnosis was not established prior to surgery. Despite radical surgery, the abscess recurred several weeks later. In the light of this case, the authors discuss the various possible diagnoses that must be considered in the presence of these types of images and the therapeutic approach during initial management. They discuss the various immune deficiencies to be investigated in a particular infectious context.
