Abstract
- We reviewed retrospectively 15 cases of perinephric abscess from 1970 to 1982 and compared these results to previously published data from 1970 to 1977 (Report I) 1. The organisms causing abscesses were determined as follows: S. aureus was in 7 cases (46%), E. coil in 4 cases (27%), Klebsiella in 2 cases (13%), Acinetobacter in 2 cases (13%), In addition, three patients had multiple abscess pathogens. 2. Laboratory evaluation revealed as follows: Pyuria was present in 4 cases (27%), Blood culture were positive in 2 cases (13%) and urine culture was positive in one case. The organisms isolated from blood and urine were felt to be the organism causing the abscesses. 3. There is no remarkable change in species of sensitive drugs, when comparing with that of previous Report I . 4. Four cases had underlying renal diseases (3 in chronic pyelonephritis and 1 in renal injury) and two cases had associated conditions (1 in impetigo and 1 in diabetes)
