ABSTRACT
Renal and perirenal abscesses are disease entities caused by infections in or around the kidneys. As imaging modalities have improved in quality and convenience, diagnosing these diseases has become easier. Some cases are refractory to conventional treatment and require surgical correction, although most patients can be cured by antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage. We here report the case of a patient with a perirenal abscess that recurred twice after appropriate antibiotic treatment and percutaneous drainage. Although Gram-negative bacilli are the most common pathogenic cause of these diseases, we isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in our patient. Thus, poor responses to appropriate treatment in patients with a perirenal abscess can result not only from antimicrobial resistance or a co-infection but also from the 2 conditions existing concomitantly.
