[Contrast-free helical computerized tomography compared with ultrasonography and simple abdominal radiography in the study of patients with acute lumbar pain].

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation the diagnostic ability of unenhanced helical computed tomography in the evaluation of patients with acute flank pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospectively evaluation of 82 patients referred for acute flank pain between january 1999 and june 2000. 78 patients were imaged with, 73 abdominal ultrasound and 46 with TCHNC. RESULTS: Plain radiography shows 49.1% of diagnosed lithiasis. Ultrasound was 48% sensitive and 96% specific. TCHNC was 100% sensitive and 84% specific in the diagnosis of lithiasis, allowing in 11 patients a diagnosis unrelated to stone disease. CONCLUSIONS: TCHNC is a valuable radiologic technique for patients presenting with acute flank pain and consider the TCHNC as initial evaluation technique in patients with acute flank pain, allowing not only the localization of the stone as well as the diagnosis of extraurinary pathologies.

[Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in sexual partners of women with condylomatous cervical dysplasia].

OBJECTIVES: Human papillomavirus (HPV) genital infection is a sexually transmitted disease that appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of various tumors of the genitourinary system, especially carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Diagnosis and treatment of sexual partners of female carriers is fundamental in preventing reinfection after treatment. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on 118 male partners of females diagnosed as having HPV infection by cytology and, in some cases, dysplasia or carcinoma in situ of the cervix. RESULTS: Patient mean age was 38.5 years; 40 had a history of other sexually transmitted diseases. Peneoscopy was performed in all cases, 44 were biopsied and 47 had a urethral cytology. The infection rate was 55%. Peneoscopy and biopsy were the best diagnostic methods. CONCLUSIONS: HPV infection in male partners of female carriers can be diagnosed by peneoscopy and biopsy of the suspected lesions. Treatment and complete eradication of the infection are fundamental since HPV has been implicated in the pathogenesis of carcinoma of the cervix and other urogenital tumors.

[Renopleural fistula secondary to xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis].

A case is presented of renopleural fistula secondary to xantogranulomatous pyelonephritis in an 18-year-old female patient. Although the renopleural communication was not observed radiologically, concomitant clinical signs, bacteriological isolation of E. coli in renal and pleural content and surgical findings, confirmed the existence of such fistula.
