[Revisiting the causes of low detection of M. tuberculosis in urine].

The evaluation of potential anti-TB activity and bactericidal activity against opportunistic enterobacteria in urine of healthy people using the automated BACTEC MGIT 960 system for cultivation and determination of drug resistance of mycobacteria and culture on solid media was performed. It has been established that the urine of healthy people do not have bactericidal activity against M. tuberculosis and E.

[Bladder tuberculosis stage 4: how to restore urination?].

Reconstructive surgery for contracted bladder (bladder tuberculosis stage 4) was performed in 21 patients: women underwent cystectomy, and men underwent cystectomy and cystprostatectomy. The artificial bladder was formed using segment of the ileum by the Studer method with the implementation of ureteral-intestinal anastomosis by Nesbit or Wallace methods. Criteria for determining the bladder tuberculosis 4 stage, requiring the implementation of reconstructive surgery were as follows: bladder capacity of 100 ml or less (including general anesthesia); bladder volume--150 ml or less in the presence of vesicoureteral reflux.

[Diagnosis of tuberculosis of bladder].

A comparative analysis of cystoscopic and pathologic patterns in 190 patients hospitalized for differential diagnosis or treatment of genitourinary tuberculosis in 2008-2011 was performed. All patients underwent polyfocal biopsy followed by pathologic examination of biopsy specimens. Furthermore, a comparison of results ofpathomorphological studies of tissue obtained by biopsy and after cystectomy was conducted.

[Influence of combined phytotherapy on sexual function in patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis].

An open, prospective, comparative, randomized, placebo-controlled study on the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of combined drug prolit super in patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis without signs of inflammation (NIH 3B category), complicated by sexual dysfunction, was performed. The study included 57 men aged 28 to 50 years. Patients in group 1 (n=29) have received daily 4 capsules of prolit super for 2 months, patients in group 2 (n=28) - placebo for the same period.

[Importance of individual approach to the immunoprophylaxis of recurrent urogenital infection].

Prevention of recurrence of urinary tract infections by Uro-Vaxom is recommended by domestic and international guidelines; up to date, however, there is no reasonable standard regimen for the use of drug, and long-term results of immunoprophylaxis were not evaluated. The study included 48 patients who received a first course of Uro-Vaxom 5 years ago (2007-2008), including 19 men with chronic bacterial prostatitis/urethroprostatitis and 29 women with recurrent cystitis. Over 5 years, 125 recurrences of urogenital infection were observed; Uro-Vaxom along with antibiotics or uroseptics in combination with phytopreparations was used in 88 (70.
