Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a potentially life-threatening infection, where gas produced by bacteria accumulates in the kidney and the surrounding tissue. Although EPN usually presents in diabetic women, it is also associated with urinary tract obstruction and kidney tumours in non-diabetic patients. We present a case of EPN in a non-diabetic patient with a known kidney tumour, successfully treated with double-J catheter, antibiotics and delayed nephrectomy.
气肿性肾盂肾炎(EPN)是一种潜在的危及生命的感染性疾病,细菌产生的气体在肾脏及周围组织中积聚。尽管EPN通常见于糖尿病女性患者,但在非糖尿病患者中它也与尿路梗阻及肾肿瘤有关。我们报告一例患有已知肾肿瘤的非糖尿病患者发生EPN的病例,该患者通过双J管、抗生素及延迟肾切除术获得成功治疗。
