title: [Clinical case of the month. Acute focal bacterial nephritis].
abstract: Focal acute bacterial nephritis (lobar nephronia) is a localized bacterial infection of the kidney that has rarely been described in childhood. It is frequently associated to urinary tract anomalies and malformations and its diagnosis is based upon renal ultrasonography and computed tomography. In this article, we report a case in an 8 year old boy admitted to hospital in a septic state.
