  • Title: Medical therapy alone for the treatment of gas forming intrarenal abscess.
    Author: Nickas ME, Reese JH, Anderson RU.
    Journal: J Urol; 1994 Feb; 151(2):398-400. PubMed ID: 8283534.
    Abstract:
    Gas forming renal infections are severe, potentially lethal conditions. Gas formation in an intrarenal abscess is extremely rare. Formerly, these patients were uniformly treated by a combined medical and surgical approach. We describe 2 patients with intrarenal gas abscess who were successfully treated with antibiotics alone. We review the literature concerning intrarenal gas abscess and propose a pathophysiological mechanism for its formation as well as a treatment schema.
