Resumen

Se diagnosticó un caso raro de ascariasis urinaria en una mujer mayor que presentaba síntomas urinarios pero sin problemas gastrointestinales. La microscopía convencional de orina confirmó la infección por Ascaris lumbricoides, destacando su valor diagnóstico en entornos con recursos limitados.

Área de la Ciencia:

Parasitología
Urología
La medicina tropical

Sus antecedentes:

La ascariasis es típicamente una infección intestinal.
La migración ectópica al tracto genitourinario es rara y difícil de diagnosticar.
La ausencia de síntomas gastrointestinales complica el diagnóstico.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para reportar un raro caso de ascariasis urinaria.
Para resaltar la utilidad diagnóstica de la microscopía convencional de la orina.
Hacer hincapié en la importancia de considerar la ascariasis en las infecciones del tracto urinario de las zonas endémicas.

Principales métodos:

Informe de caso de una mujer de 88 años con dolor ilíaco bilateral y disuria.
Examen clínico e investigaciones de laboratorio, incluida la microscopia de la orina.
Identificación de *Ascaris lumbricoides* en el sedimento de la orina

Principales resultados:

El paciente presentó síntomas urinarios y leucocitosis.
El microscopio de la orina reveló un helminto móvil, identificado como Ascaris lumbricoides.
No se notificaron síntomas gastrointestinales ni antecedentes de infección helmíntica.

Conclusiones:

La ascariasis urinaria puede presentarse sin manifestaciones gastrointestinales.
La microscopía convencional de orina es eficaz para el diagnóstico de infecciones parasitarias atípicas.
La ascariasis debe considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de los síntomas del tracto urinario en regiones endémicas, especialmente en entornos con recursos limitados.

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
