A case of renal zygomycosis due to Absidia corymbifera in an heroin addict suffering from AIDS (phase IV C2) is described. Diagnosis was by histopathology after nephrectomy, but A. corymbifera was isolated several times from urine and from the exudate from a fistula in the surgical wound. After amphotericin B treatment (1.5 g overall dose) clinical cure and negative cultures were obtained. No relapses were observed until death 1 year later from Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
