N2  - Emphysematous pyelonephritis is a highly mortal, acute necrotizing disease charactarized by gas formation in either renal parenchyma or perirenal area. Although it is seen quite rare; it usually diagnosed in diabetes mellitus patients. Predominantly it is caused by microorganism Escherichia coli, many other possible microorganism can play a role. It is diagnosed with clinical assesment, radiological imaging and labrotary results. It can be treated with parenteral antibiotic therapy, percutaneous drainage or nephrectomy. There are a small proportion of patients whom can be treated with antibiotic treatment only. In this case report, we will discuss a patient with type 2 emphysematous pyelonephritis whom received only antibiotic treatment and showed clinical improvement. The patient signed a conset form to allow us share her personel data.
