Abstract
We present an interesting and rare case of a diabetic patient who developed extensive unilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) which was caused by fungal infection. The diagnosis was confirmed on computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen. Repeated urine cultures grew Candida albicans but no other organisms were isolated. The patient remained febrile and unwell despite parenteral broad spectrum antibiotics and antifungal treatment. She underwent nephrectomy and then made a good clinical recovery.Entities:
