Abstract:
The differential diagnosis of recurrent bacteriuria includes a host of conditions very familiar to urologists. Ureterorectal fistula represents an unusual clinical entity that can cause recurrent bacteriuria. We present a patient who ultimately proved to have such a fistula. We review the available literature and comment on the significance of this condition.
