| Abstract: | The Mycobacterium fortuitum group of rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria is an uncommon cause of renal infection, particularly in otherwise healthy hosts. We describe a case of nephritis due to M. fortuitum in an immunocompetent woman with a clinical and radiological diagnosis of renal tuberculosis. |
