Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute infectious process mostly associated with diabetes and obstruction. It is a life-threatening illness and treatment generally involves antibiotic therapy, surgical drainage and nephrectomy. The prognosis is poor regardless of therapy. Herein, we present a case with pneumocystitis. To our knowledge, there have been 54 cases previously reported. There is no doubt that emphysematous pyelonephritis with pneumocystitis as in our case is less frequent.
气肿性肾盂肾炎是一种主要与糖尿病和梗阻相关的急性感染性疾病。它是一种危及生命的疾病，治疗通常包括抗生素治疗、手术引流和肾切除术。无论采用何种治疗方法，预后都很差。在此，我们报告一例合并肺囊肿的气肿性肾盂肾炎病例。据我们所知，此前已有54例相关病例报道。毫无疑问，像我们病例中这种合并肺囊肿的气肿性肾盂肾炎较为少见。
