ABSTRACT

We herein report a renal allograft recipient five years post transplant who had bilateral lung abscesses. The abscess grew Candida tropicalis on bronchoalveolar lavage. The patient was administered amphotericin B, but succumbed to massive hemoptysis. The case highlights a fungal complication in renal transplant and need for early suspicion and prompt therapy.
