Urinary tract infection with renal abscess

Renal abscess is very rare among intra-abdominal abscesses in children. Ascending infection is the most common cause in children compared to hematogenous spread in adults and Escherichia coli is the main pathogen. Persisting high-grade fever is an alarming sign to intervene and has to be taken care of. Here, we are presenting the case of a 3-year-old boy with Klebsiella urinary tract infection and E. coli renal abscess of 4 cm size. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen helped in early intervention and management. The child responded very well to parenteral antibiotics and ultrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration.

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome and Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm.

Background: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a non-heritable venous malformation with bone and soft tissue hypertrophy and cutaneous nevi. Case characteristics: Neonate with Klippel Trenaunay syndrome born to a mother with past history of Gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. Observation: Antenatally, a fetal vascular malformation was identified ultrasonologically at 29 weeks gestation. Acute myeloid leukemia was diagnosed in mother at 33 weeks gestation. Message: A rare association of Klippel Trenaunay syndrome and gestational trophoblastic neoplasm with the possible role of either hyperglycosylated Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or chemotherapy as a link is highlighted.
