Abstract
|
|
|
|
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an uncommon infection of the kidney associated with parenchymal necrosis and spontaneous gas generation. Most cases occur in diabetic patients and rarely in urinary tract obstruction, stone or tumor. At past, surgical treatment was prior to internal treatment, but recently, successful cases of internal treatment have increased because of the development of antibiotics and early diagnosis. We report an emphysematous pyelonephritis in 61 years-old non-overt diabetic woman with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, successfully treated by antibiotics and percutaneous drainage.
