The importance of surgical treatment in encrusted cystitis and pyelitis: A case report

Abstract

Highlights Encrusted cystitis and pyelitis are rare chronic inflammatory diseases. Commonly caused by the Corynebacterium spp . type D2, which is a gram positive, aerobic, slow-growing, with a multi-antibiotic resistant profile. Glycopeptides are the most effective antibiotics used as a first choice treatment. In some complication as urosepsis, bladder rupture and acute peritonitis could lead to higher mortality. Surgical cystectomy associated with the glycopeptide can be the only relevant cure in those condition.
