Drug induced acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is a rare condition in children. We report a case of 10-year-old boy who developed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aminoglycoside associated tubulointerstitial nephritis. Laboratory studies revealed increased levels of creatinine and decreased glomerular filtration rate. Tubulointerstitial nephritis was diagnosed by renal biopsy. The treatment consisted of acute kidney injury management with a short period of corticosteroids. Renal function recovered after corticosteroid therapy. At last, full recovery occurred.
