Abstract
Atypical pneumonia has been thought to account for 7%-20% of community-acquired pneumonia. The presentation in atypical pneumonia may be different and not as prominent as typical pneumonias. Therefore, identification of the causative pathogen in a primary care situation is crucial for adequate treatment. Herein, we report a case of a young immunocompetent male patient who presented to us with features of acute kidney injury. RTPCR of throat swab was positive for adenovirus. Patient was started on supportive treatment and improved symptomatically after 3 days of treatment.
