title: Gordonia terrae kidney graft abscess in a renal transplant patient.
abstract: We present the first report, to our knowledge, of a renal abscess cause by an infection from Gordonia terrae in a kidney transplant patient. The patient simultaneously had pulmonary tuberculosis and a perirenal allograft abscess caused by G. terrae. After treatment with imipenem, in addition to anti-tuberculous drugs, the patient was cured.
