Article Synopsis
- - The case report highlights a rare instance of urolithiasis (kidney stones) related to the metabolite N4-acetyl-sulfamethoxazole, following prolonged treatment with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX).
- - The patient had undergone a total colectomy and had a history of benign prostatic hypertrophy and chronic urinary retention, which contributed to metabolic conditions that increased the risk of stone formation.
- - The stones were analyzed using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealing rectangular-shaped crystals, marking the first time such crystals have been characterized using SEM.
