Emphysematous Cystitis and Urinary Retention in a Male Patient With Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Treated With Empagliflozin.

Objective: Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare urinary tract infection (UTI) typically associated with severe diabetes in older women. We present a unique case of this gas-forming infection in a man with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with empagliflozin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of EC associated with the use of a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i).
