Renal infarct following varicella infection

D Arora et al. Indian J Nephrol. 2016 Sep.

Abstract

Renal infarction usually occurs against a background of heart disease or a thromboembolic tendency and rarely is associated with infections. Here we present a case of a young boy who reported with painless gross hematuria following primary Varicella infection and was found to have an isolated renal infarct.

Keywords: Hematuria; renal infarct; varicella infection.
