Summary: Renal infection with mycobacterium chelonei. G. J. Becker, R. G. Walker, L. J. Dziukas, K. J. Harvey, R. Valentine and P. Kincaid‐Smith, Aust. N.Z. J. Med ., 1980, 10 , pp. 44–47. A case of renal infection with Mycobacterium chelonei is described. The infection probably occurred via haematogenous spread from an infected arteriovenous shunt in a uraemic woman. Prolonged treatment with intravenous cefoxitin combined with oral erythromycin and rifampicin eradicated the organism from the urine. Although renal function stabilized for one year, gradual deterioration to end‐stage renal failure occurred.
