Renal Actinomycosis in Presence of Renal Stones in a Patient with End Stage Renal Disease
Abstract
Renal actinomycosis is a rare infection, and actinomycosis mostly acts as a normal flora in mouth, colon and vagina. We present a case of 56 years old man, who referred to our center for renal transplantation with kidney stone and diagnosed with renal actinomycosis. This case has risen possibility of rare infection that can be considered in the setting of renal transplantation.
