ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infections are facilitated by the morphologic and functional changes that take place during pregnancy. Acute pyelonephritis is the most frequent medical cause of hospitalization in the pregnant woman and there can be complications in 10% of the cases, putting both the life of the fetus and the mother at risk.
We present the case of a patient whose pregnancy had the complication of a right renal abscess, purulent cholecystitis, and pneumonia. Multidisciplinary management was successful in enabling the pregnancy to reach full physiologic term with the birth of a healthy product.
The diagnostic and therapeutic protocols in this delicate entity and its related morbidities were reviewed.
