Аннотация
RATIONALE: Renal actinomycosis is a rare clinical infection, subacute to chronic presentation caused by the Actinomyces bacteria. Actinomyces israelii is diagnosed in the overpowering majority of reported cases. Abdominopelvic manifestation forms 10% to 20% of all actinomycosis, and may be misdiagnosed as either a malignancy or chronic inflammation due to the lower correct preoperative diagnostic rate (<10%).
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 38-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis experienced right flank pain, abdominal pain, and fever for 3 days. Leukocytosis, acute kidney injury, and impaired liver function were found. A computed tomographic scan demonstrated multiple renal cystic lesions, along with fluid accumulation at the right subphrenic and retroperitoneal spaces.
DIAGNOSES: Renal actinomycosis was confirmed via cultures of both the abscess and nephrectomy specimen which grew A israelii and the pathological findings of multiple renal abscesses of actinomycosis with the characteristics of sulfur granules.
INTERVENTIONS: A nephrectomy was performed for an inadequate percutaneous drainage of renal abscess.
OUTCOMES: A full course of antibiotics with intravenous penicillin G (3 million units every 4 hours) was prescribed for 2 weeks, followed by oral penicillin V given at a dose of 2 grams per day for 6 months at our out-patient facility.
LESSONS: A precise diagnosis of primary renal actinomycosis depends on any histopathological findings and/or cultures of specimens. A high dose of intravenous penicillin G is the first choice, followed by oral penicillin V, with the duration of each being dependent upon the individual condition.
