Emphysematous pyelonephritis is rare, severe, acute bacterial infection of the kidney characterized by the presence of gas within the renal parenchyma, collecting system or perinephric tissue and requires prompt diagnosis and the emergent intensive treatment. Emphysematous pyelitis is a distinct entity from emphysematous pyelonephritis and describes the presence of gas localized to the renal collecting system. Medical treatment is sufficient therapy if there is no obstruction. We report a case of both hydronephrosis complicated with emphysematous pyelitis which was occurred in 59-year-old diabetic patient. The patient was recovered by medical treatment alone.

5.Reconsideration of urine culture for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children: a new challenging method for diagnosing acute pyelonephritis
Korean Journal of Pediatrics 2019;62(12):433-437
Acute pyelonephritis (APN) should be detected and treated as soon as possible to reduce the risk of the development of acquired renal scarring. However, in the medical field, urine culture results are not available or considered when the prompt discrimination of APN is necessary and empirical treatment is started. Furthermore, urine culture cannot discriminate APN among children with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) (pyelitis, lower UTI with other fever focus). Therefore, the usefulness of urine culture for diagnostic purposes is small and the sampling procedure is invasive. Congenital hypoplastic kidney is the most common cause of chronic kidney injury in children. Thus, it is desirable that a main target be detected as early as possible when imaging studies are performed in children with APN. However, if APN does not recur, no medical or surgical treatment or imaging studies would be needed because the acquired renal scar would not progress further. Therefore, the long-term prognosis of APN in young children, particularly infants, depends on the number of recurrent APN, not other febrile UTI. New methods that enable prompt, practical, and comfortable APN diagnosis in children are needed as alternatives to urinary catheterization for urine culture sampling.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a chronic inflammatory condition which in most cases involves either an entire non-duplicated kidney or a moiety of a duplicated kidney. These cases present with quite characteristic radiologic findings including an enlarged non functioning kidney and renal stones. However, when the condition involves only a part of a non-duplicated kidney and especially where there is an absence of the specific findings described above, differentiation from cystic neoplasm may be difficult. We report the radiologic findings of twosuch cases of focal xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.

Emphysematous pyelitis (EP) is a rare complication of urinary tract infection, which has been defined as isolated gas production inside the excretory system. Contrary to emphysematous pyelonephritis, which is more severe, necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma, EP is a benign entity. To our knowledge, it has not been reported in the Korean literature, particularly in renal transplant recipients. Herein we report a case of EP in a living renal transplant recipient. A 32-year-old man received a living related renal transplant 4 years earlier for end-stage renal disease secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis. The patient presented with a sudden onset of chills, nausea, vomiting and pain on graft area. He was diagnosed as EP by computerized tomography. Immunosuppressive agents were modified and he was successfully treated with parenteral antibiotics with complete disappearance of air in the renal pelvis.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an atypical form of severe chronic parenchymal infection and usually occurs in associated with urinary tract infection, obstruction and/or calculi. An accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult because of its clinical and radiological similarities to various other renal lesions. We experienced two cases of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, so we report with review of some literatures.

There is no single characteristic clinical or radiological feature to diagnose xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, so it makes accurate preoperative diagnosis difficult. In our case, the renal parenchyme of affected kidney was well preserved on excretory urogram. The abnormal finding was only a filling defect within the right upper pelvocalyceal system. Herein we report a case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a 18 years old girl which was confused with renal pelvic tumor.
