A 5-year-old boy was diagnosed with left acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) complicated with renal abscess (RA) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is useful for diagnosing AFBN and RA complications. He was administered antibiotics for 3 weeks on evaluation of MRI findings. Evaluation of apparent diffusion coefficient values over time may be useful as an index of treatment of RA.
一名 5 岁男童经磁共振成像(MRI)诊断为左侧急性局灶性细菌性肾炎(AFBN)合并肾脓肿(RA)。MRI 有助于诊断 AFBN 和 RA 并发症。根据 MRI 检查结果,他接受了 3 周的抗生素治疗。随着时间推移评估表观扩散系数值可能有助于作为 RA 治疗的指标。
