Resumen

La pielitis incrustante (PI) es una enfermedad infecciosa producida por Corynebacterium urealyticum, cuya prevalencia es muy elevada en pacientes con trasplante renal que ha sufrido frecuentes manipulaciones urológicas y tratamientos antibióticos prolongados. Esta enfermedad es de graves consecuencias para el paciente si no se realiza un diagnóstico y tratamiento antibiótico temprano. La ecografía y la TC muestran imágenes típicas de calcificación en el sistema colector, pudiendo ser la radiografía simple de abdomen normal.

Describimos un caso de PI en un paciente transplantado renal.

Palabras clave:

Abstract

Encrusted pyelitis is an infectious disease produced by Corynebacterium urealyticumthat is highly prevalent in renal transplant patients who have undergone frequent urological examinations and prolonged antibiotic therapy. This disease can have serious consequences for the patient if early diagnosis is not achieved and antibiotic treatment begun. Ultrasound and computed tomography images show the characteristic calcification in the collecting system, although plain radiography of the abdomen may be normal.

We describe a case of encrusted pyelitis in a renal transplant patient.

Key words:
Encrusted pyelitis
