We describe the case of a 37 year-old diabetic woman who presented with a multiloculated perinephric abscess caused by Streptococcus agalactiae 12 months after receiving a living-related kidney graft. Infection was successfully treated with surgical drainage and a four-week course of antibiotic therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a perinephric abscess caused by this agent in a renal transplant recipient.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis is generally difficult to treat. It may involve multiple courses of antibiotics and may be difficult to eradicate with high rates of recurrence. We present the case of a 33-year-old male patient with a previous history of renal tract calculi, stent insertions, and perinephric abscess with percutaneous drainage, which then led to a right nephrectomy.

Iliopsoas abscess is a rare infection that presents with a triad of fever, back pain, and hip pain. However, due to the anatomical proximity of the psoas muscle to various structures, an abscess in this region can manifest with nonspecific symptoms, leading to potential misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, which can be fatal. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with right-sided flank pain and symptoms resembling lower motor neuron disorder.

is an opportunistic bacterium that is often identified in asymptomatic, healthy individuals from colonization of the genitourinary tract. However, in immunocompromised patients with hypogammaglobulinemia, has been reported to cause a wide range of infections, most commonly urethritis and cystitis. The absence of a bacterial cell wall prevents from being cultured using routine bacteriologic media and makes it resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics.

Urologic trauma encompassed a wide range of injuries affecting the urologic tract, resulting from various traumatic events or iatrogenic procedures. This review explores the clinical presentation, diagnostic strategies, and management approaches of urologic trauma, emphasizing the critical role of imaging, particularly computed tomography, in accurately assessing and guiding treatment decisions. Renal, ureteral, bladder, and urethral trauma are comprehensively discussed, including mechanisms of injury, classification systems, and therapeutic interventions.
