[Frequency of asymptomatic significant bacteriuria in bile duct and colon inflammations]

When investigating the asymptomatic significant bacteriuria in cholepathias and disease of the colon was stated that the asymptomatic significant bacteriuria is a frequent concomitant appearance of acute cholecystitis, of chronic cholangitis and ulcerous colitis. The asymptomatic significant bacteriuria does not mean pyelonephritis; but is a sign for the fact that the kidneys are in a condition endangered by pyelonephritis (potential pyelonephritis), that's why an aimed antibacterial treatment and subsequently bacteriological controls of the urine prove necessary.
