Abstract:
This paper presents a case of gas-forming infection of the urinary tract in a diabetic patient. Plain film and computed tomography scans of the abdomen greatly facilitated clarification of the entire inflammatory process. The patient was cured by early nephrectomy conducted following unsuccessful treatment by percutaneous drainage.
