“…The 3 cases presented were different in etiology, presentation and therapy. The diagnosis can easily be missed when no biopsy is performed during the acute phase; in the chronic phase, the histological picture is dominated by fibrosis and eosinophils can be sparse [6]. Consequently, EC may be underreported.…”

Objective: To evaluate the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, therapy and results in patients with eosinophilic cystitis (EC), with special attention to patients with urinary retention as presenting symptom. Patients and Methods: Between 1988 and 1999, 3 patients with EC were diagnosed. One patient presented with urinary retention, without other symptoms. All patients were evaluated for symptoms, urine culture, hematology including cell differentiation, blood chemistry, cystoscopy and intravenous urography. The international literature was reviewed for incidence, etiological factors, diagnostic procedures, therapies and outcome of EC presenting with urinary retention. Results: Two male patients presented with pain, frequency of micturition and nocturia. One female patient presented with urinary retention. One patient had an urinary tract infection. One patient showed eosinophilia of the peripheral blood. Intravenous urography revealed hydroureteronephrosis in 2 patients (1 unilateral and 1 bilateral). Cystoscopy showed tumor-like lesions in 2 patients. Therapy consisted of oral or intravesical corticosteroids or transurethral resection of the lesions. All patients were cured. A review of the literature revealed that 14 patients with EC (10%) presented with urinary retention; the majority (79%) being children and women. All patients returned to normal miction following therapy. Conclusions: The clinical presentation of EC is varied. When the lesion is located at or near the bladder neck, it may present as urinary retention. In children and women with urinary retention, EC must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of efficient therapy.

“…Antibiotics are used in urinary tract infections, but also in patients without infections. Sujka et al [64]found no differences in results between patients with and without urinary infections that were treated with antibiotics, but patients without infections showed more recurrences. Antibiotics are recommended as treatment in patients with obstruction of the upper urinary tract to prevent infection [5, 9].…”

“…We collected 81 articles from the international literature containing one or more cases of patients with EC [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82]. A total of 153 patients were mentioned in these articles.…”

Presenting manifestations of eosinophilic cystitis in two Filipino children

et al. 2009

Eosinophilic cystitis is a very rare clinical disease entity in the pediatric population. We report two cases of Filipino children with eosinophilic cystitis who presented with irritative voiding symptoms, gross hematuria, peripheral eosinophilia, and hydroureteronephrosis and urinary bladder wall thickening visualized on ultrasonography and CT urography. Cystoscopy and transurethral biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Both patients were started with corticosteroid with or without an antihistamine. Resolution from the signs and symptoms were observed in both patients as documented by disappearance of peripheral eosinophilia, normal urinalysis results, and resolution of the hydroureteronephrosis and urinary bladder wall thickening on ultrasonography on follow-up.
