Intrarenal gas abscess.
Intrarenal abscess owing to gas-forming gram-negative bacteria is rare. Female patients and diabetics, or those with urinary calculi or obstructive uropathic conditions commonly are affected. We report on a nondiabetic man who was infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Initial medical management and subsequent partial nephrectomy offered cure.
