Encrusted cystitis and pyelitis are rare inflammatory conditions. This study highlights a novel case of encrusted cystitis caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum, a previously unreported pathogen for this disease.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Encrusted cystitis (EC) and encrusted pyelitis (EP) are rare inflammatory urothelial diseases.
  • Characterized by inflammation and ammonium magnesium phosphate deposits on the urothelium.
  • Typically caused by Corynebacterium urealyticum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of EC caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum.
  • To document the first known instance of U. urealyticum-induced EC.
  • To expand understanding of EC and EP etiologies.

Main Methods:

  • Case series reporting 4 EC and 1 EP case.
  • Microbiological analysis to identify causative agents.
  • Clinical and pathological review of patient data.

Main Results:

  • Corynebacterium urealyticum identified in most cases.
  • Ureaplasma urealyticum isolated as the causative agent in one EC case.
  • This represents the first reported case of U. urealyticum-induced EC.

Conclusions:

  • Corynebacterium urealyticum remains the primary pathogen for EC and EP.
  • Ureaplasma urealyticum is a potential, albeit rare, causative agent of EC.
  • Further research is needed to understand the role of U. urealyticum in urothelial inflammation.
