[Case Report of an Acute Focal Bacterial Nephritis Associated with Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Esophageal Cancer Patient].

We report a case of acute focal bacterial nephritis(AFBN)as a complication of chemotherapy in esophageal cancer patient. A 54-year-old woman underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer. The final pathological diagnosis was a squamous cell carcinoma, pT1b, N2(No. 110), M0, pStage II . She received adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel, CDDP and 5-FU(mDCF)in our hospital from February, 2016. There was no complication in first course. She visited our hospital with complaints of a fever and right flank pain on the 22 nd day after second course of chemotherapy. There was a severe inflammation reaction in the laboratory test. An enhanced CT revealed swelling and partial low density area in the right kidney. Therefore, we diagnosed AFBN, and administrated antibiotic levofloxacin for 16 days. Her symptom improved immediately, and renal function was normal when followed up 10 months later.
