Acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis and acute granulomatous hepatitis were simultaneously observed in the same patient. Clinical and anamnestic arguments suggest that allopurinol could be responsible for this double localization, but a possible part played by furosemide cannot be excluded. The patient spontaneously recovered without corticosteroid therapy. Such an acute drug induced association did not have been proved so far.
