Overview

Case report highlights prostatic abscess and pyelonephritis in a frail elderly man, indicating need for early imaging.

Key Points

  • This case report aims to illustrate the co-occurrence of a prostatic abscess and pyelonephritis in an elderly patient.
  • Case report of an 84-year-old man with dementia, admitted after a fall, showing febrile symptoms and infection markers.
  • CT imaging revealed right kidney pyelonephritis and a prostatic abscess; broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics were administered.
  • Long-term antibiotics were given due to unsuitability for surgical intervention.
  • The patient's condition improved with the resolution of the prostatic abscess after multiple antibiotic treatments.
  • Early imaging facilitated the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis and complications such as abscess formation.
