Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

26
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction

28
Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Microbiology

Background:

  • Vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) incidence is rising, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Atypical microorganisms complicate the management of vertebral infections.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old man presented with recurrent vertebral osteomyelitis.
  • Initial diagnosis via blood culture identified Bacteroides fragilis.
  • Subsequent lumbar pain led to MRI and percutaneous needle biopsy, revealing Corynebacterium striatum.

Findings:

  • The case involved a multi-microbial vertebral osteomyelitis with two distinct pathogens.
  • Atypical organisms like Bacteroides fragilis and Corynebacterium striatum were identified.
  • Percutaneous needle biopsy was crucial for diagnosing the recurrent infection.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the difficulty in diagnosing and managing vertebral osteomyelitis with atypical pathogens.
  • It emphasizes the importance of considering percutaneous needle biopsy even with initial positive blood cultures.
  • Management strategies should align with current recommendations, including advanced imaging and tailored antibiotic therapy.
