    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, necrotizing renal infection.
    • It is a severe complication of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
    • Often associated with diabetes mellitus and urinary tract obstruction.

    Observation:

    • An 81-year-old diabetic female presented with Klebsiella pneumoniae UTI and septicemia.
    • Abdominal roentgenogram revealed a left pneumonephrogram.
    • Intraureteral and perirenal gas were noted on imaging.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced a severe necrotizing infection process.
    • Despite intensive therapeutic efforts, the patient unfortunately died.
    • The prognosis for emphysematous pyelonephritis remains unfavorable.
