“…1 To confirm the clinical analysis of a retroperitoneal abscess, the classification for retroperitoneal abscess has been simplified to five components: (1) perinephric, (2) upper retroperitoneum (above the pelvis), (3) pelvis, (4) combination of upper retroperitoneum and pelvis, and (5) localized musculoskeletal (for example, on the iliac, psoas, or the gluteus muscle). [2][3][4][5][6] Source of infection on retroperitoneal abscess can be primary or secondary infection, where the primary infection is usually hematogenous localized on the muscle or vertebrae. Meanwhile, secondary infection is generally caused by an infection of the organs in the retroperitoneal cavity.…”

Retroperitoneal abscess is a rare and difficult-to-diagnose condition. The delay in diagnosis is the primary cause of mortality. We did a case series investigation to describe the profiles of retroperitoneal abscesses. We obtained retrospective data from medical records. We reviewed thirty patients admitted to our hospital with retroperitoneal abscesses from January 2013 to December 2019. Of 30 patients reviewed, 56.67% were male, with 50.14 years-old mean age. Approximately 46.67% presented with a chief complaint of back pain, and about 63.33% of cases had a fever. The most prevalent source was genitourinary, which accounted for 60% of the cases. The most common type of abscess was the perirenal abscess. Diabetes mellitus, malignancy, and an immunocompromised condition were all prevalent comorbidities. Escherichia coli was the most prevalent pathogen (46.66%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (26.67%). For genitourinary abscesses, percutaneous drainage was typically used, whereas surgical drainage was recommended for gastrointestinal abscesses. The mortality rate of those conditions was 13.33%. Retroperitoneal abscesses have a wide range of clinical manifestations and causes. The treatment for retroperitoneal abscesses differed depending on the etiology and severity of the infection.

Retroperitoneal abscesses constitute an uncommon, complex, and life-threatening intra-abdominal infection. The insidious nature of the presentation, coupled with the presence of non-specific clinical symptoms, might result in misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, ultimately contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality. Herein we report a case of a 32-year-old intravenous drug user who presented to the emergency department complaining of high-grade fever, intense hiccough, and back pain due to retroperitoneal abscess formation after intravenous injection in the left femoral vein.

Citrobacter koseri causes opportunistic infections in various organs. We herein report an 84-year-old man with diabetes mellitus who presented to our hospital with left hip pain and walking difficulty. Computed tomography showed an extensive abscess with gas production, mainly in the left retroperitoneal space, caused by C. koseri infection. Despite daily cleaning of the wound and antimicrobial therapy (with surgical drainage), the patient developed repeated pneumonia and small bowel hemorrhaging caused by disseminated intravascular coagulation and died on day 65 of hospitalization. Overall, retroperitoneal abscesses caused by C. koseri are rare, and multiple abscesses may show a poor prognosis.
