Refractory urinary tract infection complicated rectus sheath abscess: A case report

چکیده
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the third most common infection in humans, after respiratory and gastro-intestinal infections.1 UTIs are the most common cause of both community-acquired and nosocomial infections in patients admitted to hospitals or nursing homes. It is distressing and occasionally life threatening without appropriate treatment. Refractory urinary tract infection (UTI) refers to 2 infections in six months or 3 infections in one year.2 Most recurrences are thought to represent reinfection or relapse and are associated with stones, obstruction or long time urinary catheter placement. The refractory infection can lead to fatal sequelae such as sepsis, metastatic abscess and rarely, acute renal failure. It can also result in unusual complications, such as muscle

Psoas Abscess Secondary to Urinary Tract Fungal Infection
Psoas abscess is a rare condition where infection spreads from a nearby or distant septic focus to the psoas sheath. The causative bacterial organisms at distal sites reach the psoas via lymphatic or hematogenous spread, whereas infection from nearby sites that include the urinary system reaches the psoas directly. There are few reports that account for bacterial infection after endourological ...

Psoas muscle abscess associated with emphysematous urinary tract infection is very rare. There were very few reports about urinary tract infections such as renal abscess, perinephric abscess, and emphysematous pyelonephritis complicated with psoas muscle abscess; however, psoas muscle abscess associated with emphysematous cystitis has not yet been reported. Here, we report a case of bilateral p...

Urological problems are common in spina bifida and are often treated with urinary diversions. Spina bifida and ileal conduits put patients at increased risk for ascending urinary tract infections. Here we present a novel case of a Citrobacter koseri urinary tract infection complicated by a perinephric abscess with pleural extension. To our knowledge, no case of an ascending C. koseri UTI progre...
متن کاملThrombocytosis Accompanying Renal Abscess: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Reactive thrombocytosis can be seen in patients with various kinds of infections, including upper urinary tract infection. Thrombocytosis in patients with upper urinary tract infection is a response of the bone marrow to the infection and is therefore classified as secondary thrombocytosis. We report a case of thrombocytosis accompanying renal abscess. In this case report, we present that throm...

Port site wound infection, abdominal wall hematoma and intraabdominal abscess formation has been reported after laparoscopic appendicectomy. We describe here a rectus sheath abscess which occurred three weeks after the laparoscopic appendicectomy. It was most likely the result of secondary infection of the rectus sheath hematoma due to bleeding into the rectus sheath from damage to the inferior...
