Zusammenfassung:A 58-year-old woman developed diabetic ketoacidosis and emphysematous pyelonephritis caused by Escherichia coli. She was successfully treated with nephrectomy, antibiotics, and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF). RhG-CSF therapy may be an effective adjunct for diabetic patients with severe infection, even when neutropenia is not present. (Internal Medicine 33: 234-236, 1994)
