Abstract

Renal and perinephric abscesses are a rare but potentially fatal complication of urinary tract infection (UTI). Diagnosing renal and perinephric abscesses has been known to be difficult. These abscesses may occur when the appropriate antibiotic treatment for a UTI is delayed, or in cases with a congenital malformation of the urinary system, especially in children. In the present report, we describe 2 cases of renal abscesses with extra-capsular invasion in children with febrile UTI. A 4-month-old male infant with vesicoureteral reflux developed a renal abscess that infiltrated the perinephric area and the left psoas muscle, despite early antibiotic treatment. A 9-year-old boy with prolonged fever also showed a multi-loculated renal abscess that infiltrated the spleen and diaphragm. Both patients were successfully treated with appropriate antibiotics and percutaneous drainage.

신장 농양은 요로감염에 의한 신장 감염의 가장 심한 상태로 신주위로 파열되어 신장주위농양으로 진행할 수 있으며, 신장 흉터의 후유증을 남길 수 있다. 대개 항생제 치료가 지연되거나 적절한 항생제를 선택하지 못했을 때 발생할 수 있으며, 소아에서는 해부학적 요로계 기형을 동반하기도 한다. 저자들은 방광요관역류가 동반된 대장균에 의한 요로감염 환아에서 발열 초기에 민감한 항생제로 치료하였음에도 불구하고, 좌측 요근과 신피막 주위의 침윤을 동반한 신장 농양으로 진행하여 장기간의 항생제와 함께 경피적 흡인으로 치료된 1례와 해부학적 기형 없이 2주간 발열이 있었던 환아에서 포도알균에 의한 비장과 횡경막을 침범한 다격벽의 신장 농양이 확인되어 항생제 치료와 함께 도관삽입 후 배농하여 치료하였으나 이후 추적관찰에서 신장 흉터가 발생하였던 1례를 경험하였기에 이를 보고 하는 바이다.
