Cistitis enfisematosa secundaria a colocación de sonda vesical

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare form of urinary tract infection involving the presence of gas within the bladder. This condition occurs when gas-producing bacteria infect the bladder and generate gas bubbles inside it. The bacteria most commonly associated with emphysematous cystitis are those that produce gas as a result of glucose fermentation. Symptoms may include painful urination, frequent urge to urinate, pelvic discomfort, and in more severe cases, the presence of gas can be detected on abdominal X-rays or CT scans.
