Vancomycin was used to treat a patient with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. After 3 weeks of therapy, the patient developed a diffuse maculopapular rash, which resolved upon stopping the drug. Rechallenge with vancomycin several days later resulted in reappearance of the rash and rapid onset of acute anuric renal failure. Renal biopsy revealed acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis. This is the first report of biopsy-proven vancomycin-induced acute interstitial nephritis. Renal function should be monitored closely in patients receiving vancomycin therapy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER. Kidney Tubule,Tubule, Kidney,Tubules, Kidney
D008297 Male Males
D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.
