    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2006 Mar; 54():241-3. PubMed ID: 16800353.
    Abstract:
    This study analyses the pre-disposing factors, diagnostic modalities, therapeutic options and prognostic factors involved in 7 subjects with renal abscess. Most often they presented with high fever and flank pain. USG and CT were used to establish the diagnosis. Urine culture yielded organisms in five cases and hence empirical antibiotic therapy for Gram-negative organism was offered. Complicated abscess in our series carried high mortality especially in immuno suppressed and cachectic patients.
