ABSTRACT
The lethal natural history of Emphysematous Pyelonephritis is described in a case of a female patient with diabetes records, deficient metabolic control and lumbar anthrax. Despite performing an emergency nephrectomy and receiving a correct treatment in the intensive care unit, the patient did not recover from the septic shock and died. Emphysematous Pyelonephritis is a very rare disease, but highly lethal when present. It is necessary to learn about its risk factors, particularly, poor-treated diabetes mellitus to establish an early diagnosis and treatment.
