Abstract :
Fungal infection secondary to renal transplantation poses a significant threat to the life of the recipient with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. A high index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis of fungal infections in such patients. We herein report a fatal case of prostatic abscess in a post-renal transplant recipient.
