Abstract
We report the formation of a staghorn calculus in a transplanted kidne y caused by infection with a urea-splitting Corynebacterium group D-2 organism. The stone was debulked percutaneously followed by intravenou s vancomycin administration and urinary acidification with oral acetoh ydroxamic acid, leading to clearance of nearly all of the stone.
