Emphysematous pyelonephritis is rare, life-threatening infection of the kindey associated with the production of gas, usually found in diabetic patients. We experienced a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis caused by Salmonella enteritidis in a 70 years old man with diabetes mellitus. The patient was successfully managed with percutaneous drainage and broad spectrum antibiotics. To our knowledge, this case is the first case of emphysematous pyelonephritis caused by S. enteritidis in the world. We report this case with a review of literature.
