title: [Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis in HIV infection].
abstract: We report about a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection who developed acute renal failure after therapy with atazanavir. Renal biopsy showed acute interstitial nephritis. After discontinuing medication with atazanavir serum creatinine level decreased spontaneously without steroids. The different etiologies of acute renal failure in patients with human immunodeficiency infection are discussed.
