Summary

Eosinophilic ureteritis caused bilateral upper ureteric strictures in a 54-year-old man. Filariasis is a potential cause of this rare condition, especially in endemic areas.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Bilateral upper ureteric strictures can lead to hydroureteronephrosis, potentially impacting renal function.
  • Eosinophilic ureteritis is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the ureter.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old male presented with loin pain and imaging revealed bilateral upper ureteric strictures with hydroureteronephrosis.
  • Renal function tests were normal, and peripheral eosinophilia was absent.

Findings:

  • Excision biopsy of the ureteric stricture confirmed eosinophilic ureteritis.
  • The patient had a history of cellulitis with epididymitis and resided in an area endemic for filariasis.

Implications:

  • Filariasis is proposed as a potential triggering etiology for eosinophilic ureteritis in this case.

  • This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of ureteric strictures, particularly in endemic regions.
