Zygomycosis Presenting as Acute Bilateral Renal Artery Thrombosis in a Healthy Young Male.

We present a case of acute renal artery thrombosis due to disseminated zygomycosis in a healthy young adult male.The diagnosis of renal artery occlusion was made on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) and confirmation of etiology was made only on post mortem biopsy. We suggest that the presence of vascular thrombosis on CECT in a patient presenting with febrile illness should be regarded as an indicator of possible infection by angiotropic fungi, such as zygomycosis, which could help clinician to pursue histological diagnosis aggressively.
