Abstract
Linear renal pelvis calcifications in a native kidney due to Corynebac terium urealyticum are described. These micro-organisms have an opport unistic behaviour and can be responsible for nosocomial urinary tract infection. Alkaline incrusted cystitis with linear vesical calcificati ons are considered as the most typical pattern. Renal pelvis may also be concerned, with parietal calcifications.
