Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/95350909 AB A 10-year-old girl with the human immunodeficiency virus was found to have a Staphylococcus aureus renal abscess with perinephric extension. The abscess was drained first percutaneously and then surgically, and the patient received a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotics. Three months later, the abscess recurred, necessitating a nephrectomy. The extended morbidity and difficulty of eradicating S aureus suggest that, in immunocompromised patients, early aggressive surgical management is indicated.
