Acyclovir is generally regarded as a safe and highly effective antiviral agent in normal, as well as in immunocompromised hosts. Major renal complication was unusual. However, reversible renal dysfunction has been reported. The impairment of renal nephropathy resulting from crystal formation in the renal tubules or the collecting ducts.
But we experienced a case of immunocompetent patient who developed severe and rapidly progressive acute renal failure due to tubular necrosis without crystal formation during the administration of acyclovir.
So we report with a brief review and its related literatures. |
