[Long-term monitoring of leukocyturia and bacteriuria after acute obstructive pyelonephritis].

The generally accepted standard of antibiotic therapy aimed at causative agent does not exclude the risk of acute obstructive pyelonephritis (AOP) to become chronic after the end of antibiotic therapy, resulting in a high incidence of relapses. To assess the outcomes of the AOP, we undertook a prospective clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study comprised 51 consistently selected patients (12 men and 39 women) with AOP occurred as a result of unilateral ureteric calculus obstruction.

[Antimicrobial resistance of uropathogens in patients with acute obstructive pyelonephritis].

Relevance: Acute pyelonephritis is known to be the most complicated and severe urinary tract infection occurring in all age groups and accounting for 14% of all kidney diseases. The generally recognized standard antibiotic therapy cannot completely prevent the progression of the disease to its chronic form after relief of its acute manifestations thus leading to a high incidence of relapses. The aim of our study was to investigate the spectrum of uropathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity in acute obstructive pyelonephritis.

[Is bacteriological testing of bladder urine informative in acute obstructive pyelo- nephritis?].

Unlabelled: The problem of the etiology and pathogenesis of acute obstructive pyelonephritis (OOP) remains one of the challenging issues of modern urology. Etiological agents of pyelonephritis can be both gram-negative and gram-positive opportunistic bacteria mostly belonging to the normal flora in humans. The generally accepted diagnostic work-up involves a bacteriological testing of not pelvic urine, but of bladder urine collected by a transurethral catheter or midstream specimens of urine collected from the patients.

[Internal optic urethrotomy in urethral strictures complicates subsequent reconstructive surgery].

The results of open reconstructive operations performed in 86 patients with traumatic urethral stricture show that the efficacy of these operations and frequency of complications are lower in using urethroplasty as a primary treatment while primary internal optic urethrotomy significantly reduces possibility of effective surgery without complications.
