Abstract
|
|
|
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare complication of urinary tract infection and can occur in patients with diabetes mellitus or urinary obstruction. We recently treated a 52-year-old male patient with E. coli urinary tract infection and septicemia whose abdominal roentgenogram demonstrated a striking right pneumonephrogram as well as perirenal gas.
Right nephrectomy was carried out to survive septic crisis. Timely surgical intervention after unsuccessful antibiotics and conventional medical measurement is life saving.
