A 55-year-old man with diabetes mellitus was sick with shivering, abdominal pain and Escherichia coli in blood and urine cultures; a 40-year-old woman with asthmatic bronchitis had abdominal pain and anaemia. Both had renal dysfunction and the CT scan showed hydronephrosis with a perirenal inflammatory infiltrate and gas in the right and left renal pelvis, respectively. The man had a difficult recovery after treatment with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage. In the woman, a calculus obstructed the pyelo-ureteral passage; the resected kidney contained a squamous cell carcinoma. She was operated, received chemotherapy and recovered. Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a rare, severe disease. Percutaneous drainage and, if necessary, nephrectomy are paramount in the treatment. The condition is observed mostly in patients with diabetes mellitus or obstruction of the urinary tract.
