Abstract
We present a rare case of E. coli emphysematous pyelonephritis with sepsis. The radiologic presentation consisted of multiple radiolucent gas-filled, free-floating uric acid calculi in a hydronephrotic renal pelvis. The infection was treated by intravenous fluids and antibiotics and percutaneous nephrostomy drainage. The patient was rendered stone free by percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ultrasound lithotripsy.Entities:
