Obstructive nephropathy due to sulfa crystals in two HIV seropositive patients treated with sulfadiazine

R Colebunders et al. JBR-BTR. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

Two HIV seropositive patients receiving sulfadiazine for presumed cerebral toxoplasmosis who developed an obstructive nephropathy are described. Ultrasound examination showed respectively a bilateral hydro-ureteronephrosis in one patient and unilateral hydro-ureteronephrosis in the other. The obstructive nephropathy resolved in both patients with alkalic hydration and discontinuation of the sulfadiazine.
