A 55-year-old male is admitted to the hospital for a suspected kidney infection. He is placed on intravenous antibiotic therapy but continues to have temperature of 103°F after 3 days of therapy. The urine culture grows Escherichia coli, which is sensitive to the antibiotics being used. On examination, he appears ill and has marked left flank tenderness. Ultrasound depicts an abnormal collection of fluid around the left kidney. What is the most likely diagnosis? ? What anatomical structure is involved?
