   Pyelonephritis
   `Pyelonephritis` is an ascending urinary tract infection that has reached the `pyelum` (pelvis) of the kidney (`nephros` in Greek). If the infection is severe, the term ``urosepsis`` is used interchangeably (sepsis being a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to infection). It requires antibiotics as therapy, and treatment of any underlying causes to prevent recurrence. It is a form of nephritis. It can also be called `pyelitis`.
