Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an uncommon infec- tion 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, We report a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis in 40 years-old diabetic female. She had fever, chill, and right flank pain 5 days in duration. Acute respiratory failure and septic shock was developed on admission. Intensive medical therapy was started, and nephrectomy was done on hospital day 10 after recovery from septic shock and acute respiratory failure. Single renal adenoma about 2 cm-sized was noted. E. coli was found in blood and urine culture.
