Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with nephrocutaneous fistula due to Providencia rettgeri infection

Gilho Lee et al. J Med Microbiol. 2011 Jul.

Abstract

We describe what is to our knowledge the first case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis combined with nephrocutaneous fistula caused by Providencia rettgeri. Surgical extirpation including nephrectomy and fistulectomy was successfully performed. The strain was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing in both renal tissue and pus culture from the fistula.
