ABSTRACT
Since the first clinical observation by Kelly and MacCallum, gas-forming infection of the urinary tract has been extensively studied. It is characterized by gas production within the urinary tract. The gas may often pass outside the urinary tract. Patients with this disorder invariably have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and pos sibly associated obstructive uropathy. It is usually caused by aerobic bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli. In the literature, the majority of cases were emphy sematous pyelonephritis alone or emphysematous cystitis separately. Bilateral renal involvement associated with emphysematous cystitis is very rarely seen and no case was reported yet in Korea. We report a case of bilateral emphysematous pye lonephritis and emphysematous cystitis which occured in 48-year-old diabetic patient simultaneously. It was caused by E. coli. The patient was cured by medical management alone.
