Acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) is a rare, acute focal infection of the renal parenchyma without liquefaction. The pathogenesis is thought to be due to hematogenous infection or ascending infection from the lower urinary tract. Escherichia coli has been the major pathogen isolated in prior cases, but other Gram-negative enteric pathogens and Staphylococcus aureus have been reported as well. It is well described in children and adults with diabetes and organ transplantation, but has not been previously reported in healthy adults. We report a case of an immunocompetent adult female who presented with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia after a skin and soft tissue infection that resulted in AFBN. |
