Abstract
1. 1. The difficulty in diagnosing carbuncle of the kidney is well shown in the first case. However, chills, fever, toxicity, and pain in the kidney region, minus urinary symptoms and negative laboratory tests, are strong presumptive evidence of cortical abscess or carbuncle. 2. 2. Retrograde pyelographic studies or intravenous pyelograms, or both, should be done at once. A filling defect in one or more calyces is further evidence of great significance. 3. 3. Early surgical interference is very important. If the lesion is large, nephrectomy is indicated, and if small and well localized, drainage may be sufficient.
