ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of isolated renal mucormycosis in children. Methods The clinical manifestations,CT,IVU and surgical findings of 3 children with isolated renal mucormycosis were analyzed. Results A three-month newborn presented asymptomatically except for renal mass.The other two children had fever,lumbar pain,hematuria,renal enlargement and tenderness.CT scan showed multiple low density foci in the kidneys.All of the three children underwent nephrectomy and systemic amphotericin B treatment,and the diagnoses were confirmed by pathological examination. Conclusions Isolated renal mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection without predisposing factors,and its clinical characteristics are different from the usual systemic mucormycosis.Early diagnosis,nephrectomy and systemic amphotericin B treatment are necessary for improving the prognosis.
