Abstract
A description of 13 clinical cases of acute focal bacterial nephritis in children aged from 1 year to 4 years and 8 months (2.6±1.1 years), made up 1,61% from hospitalized for acute urinary tract infections in accordance with existing ideas about this pathology, is presented.
Acute focal bacterial nephritis is a rare variant of acute pyelonephritis that can transform into a purulent process, accompanied by nonspecific signs of acute urinary infection with persistent fever and signs of a systemic inflammatory response, which is recognized by visualization technologies. Ultrasound investigation in the case of acute focal bacterial nephritis usually reveals focuses of hyper-echogenicity of one of the kidneys and/ or signs of nephromegaly. The reserve method for diagnosing pathology is the computerized tomography. Adequate treatment of acute focal bacterial nephritis must include mandatory intravenous administration of antibiotics for at least 3 weeks , which allows for a favorable outcome of the disease.
