A 76-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of fever and dyspnea. He was diagnosed with MDS with multilineage dysplasia and acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological investigations. Antibiotic treatment temporarily improved his condition, but the radiological image of AFBN remained. His condition gradually deteriorated into multiple organ failure, and he unfortunately died on the 31st day of hospitalization. Autopsy findings revealed significantly increased p53-positive blasts in the bone marrow and renal parenchyma overlapping AFBN, suggesting leukemic transformation and renal infiltration. This case emphasizes the need to review the diagnosis when antibiotic treatment is ineffective in MDS patients with AFBN.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58081060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]],"date-time":"2022-08-08T22:33:11Z","timestamp":1659997991000},"page":"1060","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Renal Leukemic Infiltration Overlapping Acute Focal Bacterial Nephritis during Myelodysplastic Syndrome: An Autopsy Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Keishu","family":"Murakami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1150-0970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shinobu","family":"Tamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Hematology\/Oncology, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Maruyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"},{"name":"First Department of Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomomi","family":"Naitoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kan","family":"Teramoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Hematology\/Oncology, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yurina","family":"Mikasa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Pathology, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masaoh","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinichi","family":"Murata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Pathology, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seiya","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Wakayama Medical University, Wakayama 641-8509, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1358","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1904794","article-title":"Myelodysplastic Syndromes","volume":"383","author":"Cazzola","year":"2020","journal-title":"N.
