Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Acute renal failure is frequent in HIV–infected patients and may be related to HIV–associated nephropathy, drugs, or opportunistic infections. We report a peculiar case of disseminated cryptococcosis complicated by acute renal failure associated with obstruction of intrarenal capillaries by Cryptococus neoformans dead bodies and successfully treated with plasma exchanges.
