A patient developed candidemia after receiving steroids and antibiotics. Subsequently, acute oliguric renal failure occurred. Renal biopsy showed multiple cortical microabscesses. These contained encapsulated ovoid Candida, budding organisms, short hyphae, and polymorphs. Adjacent tubules showed disruption of the basement membrane, infiltration by polymorphs and necrosis. There was no evidence of pelvic-calyceal obstruction by bezoar. The acute renal failure was attributed to acute candidal tubulo-interstitial nephritis, and was successfully reversed with Amphotericin.
