Emphysematous pyelonephritis is an acute necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma, collecting system, and surrounding perinephric tissue, characterized by the presence of gas within these locations on imaging. It is associated with high mortality rates and is often found in diabetic patients. We present the case of a 60-year-old female, with a past history of Von Willebrand disease and hypertension, who presented to our emergency department complaining of acute-on-chronic right knee, left hip, and paraspinal lumbar back pain with an increased frequency of falling for approximately one week.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) associated with the use of indwelling urinary catheters. Previous reports have revealed host and pathogen effectors critical for MRSA uropathogenesis. Here, we sought to determine the significance of specific metabolic pathways during MRSA UTI.

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI) commonly occur in children; if left untreated, they may result in severe consequences such as uro-sepsis and renal damage. This study aimed to determine the bacterial profile, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated factors among paediatric patients suspected of urinary tract infections in Arba Minch General Hospital (AMGH). An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 01 October 2020 to 31 January 2021.

We aimed to determine the incidence of bacteremia and prognostic effects of prompt administration of appropriate antimicrobial therapy (AAT) on nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients achieving a sustained return of spontaneous circulation (sROSC), compared with non-OHCA patients. In the multicenter case-control study, nontraumatic OHCA adults with bacteremia episodes after achieving sROSC were defined as case patients, and non-OHCA patients with community-onset bacteremia in the emergency department were regarded as control patients. Initially, case patients had a higher bacteremia incidence than non-OHCA visits (231/2171, 10.
