Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EP) is a special form of acute pyelonephritis caused by gas-forming bacteria, leading to necrotic damage to kidney tissue and paranephral fiber. The process is more often one-sided, but about 10 % of the EP cases described in the literature were bilateral in nature. The article describes a clinical case of bilateral emphysematous pyelonephritis in combination with emphysematous cystitis.
