Summary

This study details the first reported case of concurrent renal and prostatic aspergillosis in a non-immunocompromised patient. Successful treatment involved surgical intervention for both kidney and prostate conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Urology

Background:

  • Urinary tract aspergillosis is rare, predominantly affecting immunocompromised individuals.
  • Previous reports include limited cases of renal and isolated prostatic aspergillosis.
  • Concomitant renal and prostatic involvement in non-immunocompromised patients remains undocumented.

Observation:

  • A non-immunocompromised patient presented with pyrexia of unknown origin and dysuria.
  • Microscopic examination of kidney pus revealed characteristic fungal hyphae.
  • Fungal isolation from kidney pus confirmed the diagnosis of aspergillosis.

Findings:

  • The first documented case of simultaneous renal and prostatic aspergillosis in a non-immunocompromised host.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by direct microscopy and fungal culture of kidney pus.

  • Surgical management including transurethral prostate resection and nephrectomy achieved a successful outcome.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the possibility of invasive fungal infections in seemingly immunocompetent patients.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering fungal etiologies in complex urinary tract infections.
    • Suggests a need for broader diagnostic considerations in unexplained pyrexia and dysuria.
