Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare disease by excessive proliferation of the mature fat in the pelvic extraperitoneal space. Cystitis cystica, often occurring concurrently with pelvic lipomatosis, is a rare proliferative inflammatory disease of the bladder. The diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis is established on radiographic examination, not on pathology. We report a case of pelvic lipomatosis associat...

The occurrence of P fimbriae in a total of 222 uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains was investigated. Out of the total, 31 (14%) were P fimbriated. Of 24 pyelonephritogenic E. coli strains, three (13%) with P fimbriae occurred in children with clinical pyelonephritis, and of 198 E. coli strains 29 (15%) occurred in children with cystitis. Prevalence of P fimbriae of E. coli strains was...

The genetic and serological characteristics of Escherichia coli isolates from patients with uncomplicated cystitis (UC), complicated cystitis (CC), and complicated asymptomatic bacteriuria (CASB) were determined. Phylogenetic group B2 was predominant in all categories. The prevalences of 14 out of 18 virulence factor genes were similar among the three categories, while pap, iha, ompT, and PAI w...

We report the atypical case of a nondiabetic 66-year old male with severe abdominal pain and vomiting who was found to have emphysematous cystitis. Of all gas-forming infections of the urinary tract emphysematous cystitis is the most common and the least severe. The major risk factors are diabetes mellitus and urinary tract obstruction. Most frequent causative pathogens are Escherichia coli and...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for treating haemorrhagic cystitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS From February 1997 to April 2004, seven patients with radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis were treated with HBO; they received a mean (range) of 30 (18-57) HBO treatments and the follow-up was 24 (3-53) months. RESULTS The haematuria resolved completely in all seven patie...

PURPOSE We determine the prevalence of interstitial cystitis in The Netherlands, and analyze the most common diagnostic and therapeutic approaches among Dutch urologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire was completed by urologists and analyzed with the help of a statistical computer program. RESULTS The prevalence of interstitial cystitis was calculated to be 8 to 16/100,000 female pa...

The genus Escherichia includes pathogens and commensals. Bladder infections (cystitis) result most often from colonization of the bladder by uropathogenic E. coli strains. In contrast, a poorly defined condition called asymptomatic bacteriuria results from colonization of the bladder with E. coli strains without symptoms. As part of an on-going attempt to identify and characterize the newly dis...

Glandular cystitis is a differential diagnosis of malignant bladder tumors. Only the Pathological examination can be used to make diagnosis. has no specific clinical manifestation. The signs are not very and suggest carcinoma.

A case is reported in which docetaxel was used to treat a patient with hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer. The treatment was terminated at the third course of docetaxel following the development of hemorrhagic cystitis. This reaction was unexpected, as it is not a known reaction to docetaxel. Hemorrhagic cystitis has been associated with cyclophosphamide, where the metabolite acrolei...
