Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, fatal suppurative infection of the kidneys which is characterized by intraparenchymal or perirenal gas formation. In this report, findings of a patient who was diagnosed with emphysematous pyelonephritis at our emergency department are presented and discussed in accordance with the literature. A 47 year- old, diabetic female who had a left renal double -J stent was admitted to the emergency department with the complaints of fever, left -sided flank pain and fatigue. The patient who had an increased white blood cell count and an urine sample that is positive for leukocytes was hospitalized with the suspicion of a diagnosis of an emphysematous pyelonephritis and an antibiotheraphy was started. For the patients who have the findings of fever and flank pain and have a history of a recent renal intervention, an early diagnosis using all necessary diagnostic methods to reduce mortality rates is crucial. This is especially true for the patients with a known history of diabetes.
