Acute kidney injury is a severe condition which increases both mortality and morbidity in children. There is a long term risk of development of chronic kidney disease even if the patient is treated properly. We present a case of a patient who developed acute kidney injury during the course of a febrile infection of unkown origin. The etiology was subsequently clarified after patient´s discharge from the hospital.

Keywords: acute kidney infury, febrile infection, leptospirosis.
