Renal abscess-diagnosis and treatment about 9 cases

ABSTRACT

We report 9 cases of renal abcess occurring in 7 men and 2 women who are 25.5 year-old. The clinical picture is not specific. Ultra-sonography made the diagnosis in all cases. The collection is onesided, localized more often in the upper pole. Intravenous pyelogram showed mass renal syndrome in 4 cases. Computerized tomography scan showed collection diffusion in the perirenal space in 2 cases. Staphylococcus is the only isolated bacteria found in the needle aspiration pus, blood and urineculture. Management is obtained in all cases after antibiotic therapy without percutaneous drainage on an average 49.6 days
