摘要
A 66-year old female was admitted to our ICU in septic shock with accompanying signs of gastroenteritis and diabetic-related hyperglycemia. Computer tomography of the abdomen revealed the rare diagnosis of emphysematous pyelonephritis. Immediate nephrectomy led to a favourable outcome in this dramatic case. Although abscess drainage and broad-based antibiotic therapy are generally the first-line therapy today, emergency surgery would seem to be indicated in selected cases.
