  • Title: [Unusual presentation of urinary tract infection in 6 cases].
    Author: Noriega LM, González P, Pérez J, Canals C, Trucco C, Michaud P.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1995 Mar; 123(3):334-40. PubMed ID: 8525174.
    Abstract:
    Urinary tract infections may have different clinical presentations that may range from asymptomatic bacteriuria to purulent collections and severe sepsis. We report 6 diabetic patients, 3 presenting with a renal carbuncle and 3 with an emphysematous pyelonephritis. All required medical and surgical treatment and had a good evolution. Two carbuncles were caused by beta- hemolytic type B streptococcus. This is the second notification of this agent as causative of renal abscesses, probably reaching the kidney through hematogenous dissemination from cutaneous foci.
