Abstract
We report the ccase of a 65-year-old woman presenting with urosepsis in the context of a one-week history of progressive right flank pain and a past medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Computed Tomography (CT) demonstrated evidence of emphysematous pyelitis, a rare infection caused by gas-producing bacteria associated with elevated blood glucose. The patient responded well to fluid resuscitation and was discharged home with follow-up arranged for blood sugar management and outpatient lithotripsy addressing obstructive renal calculus.
