the one thing that comes to mind is sepsis, which is when an infection gets into the bloodstream. this can happen with pretty much any type of infection. i had this twice, from a kidney infection. all the same symptoms except my blood pressure plummeted to extremely low levels, but some people to get very high blood pressure from this.
Cryptococcis, herpes zoster, Parainfluenza (with secondary bacterial infection), Leprocy (invading kidneys and possibly the heart), Relapsing fever *no high temperature noted though*, Lyme disease, Bacteremia.
Tetanus (does not explain kidney failure though)
Most likely (pyelonephritis/Salmonelosis) or Dyphteria.
