  • Title: Bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis combined with subcapsular hematoma and disseminated necrotizing fasciitis.
    Author: Lin DC, Shieh GS, Tong YC.
    Journal: Urol Int; 2003; 70(3):244-6. PubMed ID: 12660468.
    Abstract:
    Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a rapidly progressive and potentially life-threatening necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma characterized by the presence of gas. Bilateral EPN is a rare disease process with a high mortality rate. Bleeding associated with EPN is an extremely rare complication. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but serous condition with a poor prognosis. Herein we present a rare case of bilateral EPN combined with subcapsular hematomas which progressed to the development of disseminated necrotizing fasciitis.
