Abstract

Cystitis and emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) are the most common urinary tract infections in women, 90%, with risk factors such as diabetes and obstruction. They are caused by the colonization of gram-negative pathogens (E. Coli, Klebsiella), which are capable of producing gas and cause the corresponding clinical and imaging pattern. We present a case in which the patient diagnosed with emphysematous pyelonephritis does not have the usual characteristics or frequent risk factors of this entity. It is emphasized that a correct analysis of the radiological images and an adequate clinical evaluation are fundamental for its diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
