Urinary Tract Infection with gas forming organisms that ferment lactate (high risk, see precautions below)
- Results in Emphysematous Cystitis or Emphysematous Pyelonephritis
- Most common in poorly controlled Diabetes Mellitus
- Organisms (may cause staghorn calculi, high Urine pH)
- Proteus species
- Escherichia coli
- KlebsiellaPneumonia
- Candida
- Clostridium
IV. Precautions
- Acute infection with Emphysematous Cystitis or Emphysematous Pyelonephritis
- Pneumaturia due to gas forming organism infection requires early diagnosis and broad spectrum Antibiotics
