Abstract
|
|
|
|
A renal abscess is rare disease in neonates and the clinical diagnosis is difficult, because symptoms are often insidious and nonspecific such as fever and lethargy. A high degree of suspicion is important for the early detection of renal abscess. The diagnosis can be made with renal ultrasonography and CT scan. The treatment include aggressive antibiotic therapy, percutaneous aspiration of abscess, and surgical intervention. We experienced a case of renal abscess in a neonate which was treated successfully by antibiotics therapy without percutaneous aspiration or surgical intervention.
