Ureteral infection stones.

R R Bahnson, A J Schaeffer

    The Journal of Urology
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Recurrent urinary tract infections were caused by ureteral stones. Successful treatment involved antibiotics and surgical intervention, including ureterolithotomy and ureteroureterostomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a significant clinical challenge.
    • Ureteral stones can act as a nidus for persistent bacterial infections within the urinary tract.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with recurrent UTIs attributed to culture-proven ureteral infection stones.
    • Ureteral catheterization localized the infection to the upper urinary tract, but direct immunofluorescence antibody testing was negative.
    • The infection persisted despite initial management.

    Findings:

    • Culture-proven ureteral stones were identified as the cause of recurrent UTIs.
    • Antibiotic therapy was administered to treat the infection.
    • Surgical management, including ureterolithotomy, resection of a stenotic ureteral segment, and ureteroureterostomy, was performed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering ureteral stones as a source of persistent upper urinary tract infections.
    • Combined antibiotic and surgical treatment can effectively resolve complex UTIs associated with ureteral stones and ureteral strictures.
    • Successful management underscores the efficacy of ureterolithotomy and reconstructive ureteral surgery in treating refractory UTIs.
