 AB    A 10-year-old girl with the human immunodeficiency virus was found to
       have a Staphylococcus aureus renal abscess with perinephric extension.
       The abscess was drained first percutaneously and then surgically, and
       the patient received a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotics. Three
       months later, the abscess recurred, necessitating a nephrectomy. The
       extended morbidity and difficulty of eradicating S aureus suggest that,
       in immunocompromised patients, early aggressive surgical management is
       indicated.
