Cutaneous aspergillosis in a renal transplant recipient.
Aspergillosis is a serious infection in renal transplant patients especially if dissemination occurs.

It should be sought when surgical wound shows a rapidly growing necrotizing features early post transplant and without evidence of hematogeneous or contiguous tissue or organ involvement. Early suspicion, diagnosis, extensive surgical debridement as well as rapid institution of Amphotericin B can minimize the risk of dissemination.

Salmonella typhi in a child with urinary tract infection and urolithiasis.
Salmonella species are a rare cause of urinary tract infections in children. They have been associated with a higher incidence of structural abnormalities or immunosuppressive status. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl with urinary tract infection (UTI) secondary to Salmonella typhi and associated with urolithiasis. A review of the subject is then discussed.
