    Abstract:
    Emphysematous pyelonephritis caused by gas-producing bacteria like Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumonia is generally observed in female diabetic patients. We report a case in which Citrobacter was the microbiologically documented pathogen. High-dose antibiotic regimen was administered, but nephrectomy was necessary to overcome the life-threatening situation.
