Abstract:
Emphysematous cystitis is a rare urinary tract infection characterized by gas in the bladder wall and lumen. It is more common in diabetic unbalanced patients, who are immunocompromised or have an obstruction under the bladder. The most common germs responsible for this pathology are facultative aerobic-anaerobes (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia).
Most cases can be treated with a combination of antibiotics, bladder drainage and glycemic control, Early medical intervention can contribute to achieving a favorable prognosis without the need for surgical intervention.
