    Author: McHugh TP, Albanna SE, Stewart NJ.
    Journal: Am J Emerg Med; 1998 Mar; 16(2):166-9. PubMed ID: 9517695.
    Abstract:
    In any diabetic patient being diagnosed or treated for pyelonephritis, it is important to exclude the diagnosis of emphysematous pyelonephritis, which carries a high mortality rate. The authors present an illustrative case of emphysematous pyelonephritis treated with antibiotics and emergency nephrectomy. The signs, symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of emphysematous pyelonephritis are discussed.
