Atypical presentation of allergic interstitial nephritis likely induced by ciprofloxacin.

Though the prevalence of drug induced allergic interstitial nephritis (AIN) appears to be increasing, the diagnostic and treatment strategies still remain vague. We present a 56-year-old man with a history of hypertension, chronic kidney disease stage IIIa, recent exposure to ciprofloxacin who presented with acute kidney injury. Though the suspicion of AIN was high, his urinary sediment was bland, that is, no leucocytes or leucocyte casts.
