ABSTRACT
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an uncommon destructive process that is associated
with urinary tract infection and/or obstruction. We present the case of a 63
year old female who had an unusual case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis
due to Streptococcus intermedius in
the left kidney. CT scan revealed a chronic obstructive pyelonephritis with
associated staghorn calculi, and renal histopathology confirmed
xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis with foamy macrophages. She was a surgically
complicated patient, who underwent two ventral hernia repairs along with her
left nephrectomy. She ultimately had a complete recovery after surgical
treatment and antibiotics. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2019; 9(2):90-94.
