Renal Fungal Abscesses

Adel is a 2-year-old boy with down syndrome, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and persistent fever despite broad spectrum antibacterial therapy. CT scan of the pelvis showed multiple peripherally enhanced cystic lesions  in the kidneys compatible with renal abscesses. The blood culture grew candida trpicalis. He is currently on antifungal treatment.
