Department of Respiratory Medicine, Yamanashi Kousei Hospital.

A 69-year-old man who had benign prostatic hypertrophy and hypertension was admitted to our hospital because of urinary retention and high grade fever. Chest radiograph showed the appearance of multiple cavitating nodules in both lung fields within a few days after admission. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated in blood and sputum cultures, though there were no pathogens in urine culture. Abdominal CT demonstrated bilateral hydronephrosis. Since we could not detect any other infectious focuses such as bacterial endocarditis, septic thrombophlebitis etc., we reached the diagnosis of septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) induced by urinary tract infection (UTI). After diagnosis, the patient was given intravenous meropenem, ciprofloxacin, sulbactam/ampicilin, and recovered. Although several cases of SPE induced by UTI in diabetes mellitus patients have been reported, the present case who had no severe underlying disorder is very rare.

D011470 Prostatic Hyperplasia Increase in constituent cells in the PROSTATE, leading to enlargement of the organ (hypertrophy) and adverse impact on the lower urinary tract function. This can be caused by increased rate of cell proliferation, reduced rate of cell death, or both.
