    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, necrotizing renal infection.
    • It predominantly affects diabetic patients and is often caused by Escherichia coli.
    • Ureteral obstruction is a common complicating factor.

    Observation:

    • Two new cases of EPN are presented, adding to the previously reported 42 cases.
    • Both patients were female, diagnosed with diabetes, and presented with E. coli-induced ureteral obstruction.

    Findings:

    • Both patients required nephrectomy to manage septic and/or azotemic crises.
    • Initial antibiotic and conventional medical treatments were unsuccessful in both cases.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case series underscores the critical role of timely surgical intervention, specifically nephrectomy, in managing severe EPN.
    • Prompt surgical management, following failed medical therapy, is essential for patient survival and preventing life-threatening complications.
