Abstract

Interstitial cystitis, described for many years, remains a mystery for several reasons. Although the clinical and therapeutic understanding of this disease have improved, the histological features are non-specific and the pathogenesis is still unclear. The aim of this article is to briefly review the current state of knowledge and to remind the reader that this disease must not be underestimated or ignored.

Urinary tract infections complicating pregnancy.

Urinary tract infections (asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis, and pyelonephritis) are frequently encountered medical complications of pregnancy. The majority of infections in pregnancy are asymptomatic; however, even covert bacteriuria places the mother at risk for low birth weight and preterm birth. Pyelonephritis can result in significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, all pregnant women should be screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria, and urinary tract infections should be promptly treated to prevent adverse pregnancy outcome. This article reviews the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, and complications associated with urinary tract infections in pregnancy.

Emphysematous cystitis and pyelitis in a diabetic renal transplant recipient.

Emphysematous cystitis is a rare complication of urinary tract infection. Patients with diabetes mellitus, neurogenic bladder, bladder outlet obstruction, and recurrent urinary tract infection are at increased risk for the disease. We present a case of emphysematous cystitis and pyelitis in a diabetic renal transplant recipient. He was treated with antibiotics alone with complete clinical and radiologic resolution. The clinical course was benign, as described in most patients. The prognosis of emphysematous cystitis is good after early diagnosis and prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics, blood glucose control, and adequate urinary drainage.
