An elderly woman with poorly controlled diabetes entered the casualty department suffering from abdominal pain. Clinical and radiological examination revealed intramural and intraluminal gas in the urinary bladder, suggesting the diagnosis as emphysematous cystitis. It is a rare disorder usually caused by aerobic and not anaerobic microbes. The causal agent is often, as in this case, Escherichia coli.
一位患有糖尿病且血糖控制不佳的老年女性因腹痛进入急诊科。临床和影像学检查发现膀胱壁内和腔内有气体，提示诊断为气肿性膀胱炎。这是一种罕见的疾病，通常由需氧菌而非厌氧菌引起。病因通常如本例一样，是大肠杆菌。
