ABSTRACT
Genitourinary infections are commonly encountered and managed in inpatient, outpatient and emergency settings. Fournier's Gangrene, emphysematous pyelonephritis and obstructive pyelonephritis represent the most serious urologic infections and have a high risk of mortality if not managed promptly. Due to the rarity of these infections, the evidence for specific treatment strategies is scattered. This review aims to provide comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of these life-threatening urologic infections.
