  • Clostridium perfringens Emphysematous Cystitis.
    Urology, 1993
    Co-Authors: Douglas S. Katz, Erol Aksoy, Burke A. Cunha
    Abstract:

    Emphysematous Cystitis is a rare disease and is usually caused by aerobic bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli. Only rarely have anaerobic bacteria been associated with this condition. We report a case of Emphysematous Cystitis due to Clostridium perfringens with bacteremia in an elderly diabetic woman.

  • Emphysematous Cystitis and pyelitis in a diabetic renal transplant recipient.
    Transplantation, 1996
    Co-Authors: Enver Akalin, Charles Hyde, Gunther W. Schmitt, James S. Kaufman, Robert J. Hamburger
    Abstract:

    Emphysematous Cystitis is a rare complication of urinary tract infection. Patients with diabetes mellitus, neurogenic bladder, bladder outlet obstruction, and recurrent urinary tract infection are at increased risk for the disease. We present a case of Emphysematous Cystitis and pyelitis in a diabetic renal transplant recipient. He was treated with antibiotics alone with complete clinical and radiologic resolution. The clinical course was benign, as described in most patients. The prognosis of Emphysematous Cystitis is good after early diagnosis and prompt treatment with appropriate antibiotics, blood glucose control, and adequate urinary drainage.

  • Radiographic and ultrasonographic findings of Emphysematous Cystitis in four nondiabetic female dogs
    2006
    Co-Authors: Petite A., Busoni Valeria, Heinen Marie-pierre, Billen Frédéric, Snaps Frédéric
    Abstract:

    The urinary bladder of four dogs with Emphysematous Cystitis was assessed radiographically. Ultrasonography was also performed using a 7.5-MHz microconvex probe in dorsal recumbency and in a standing position. Ultrasonographically there were bright echoes and reverberations typical of gas in all dogs. This was entrapped in the bladder wall as it appeared in the same location in recumbent and standing positions. Bladder size was reduced and bladder content was echogenic in all dogs. In only one out of the four dogs was a gas stripe seen in the bladder on radiographs. Proteus mirahilis was isolated from the urine of all patients. Diabetes was ruled out on the basis of urine and blood analysis. A small amount of gas can be difficult to detect on radiographs. Ultrasonography appears to be a more sensitive technique for detection of gas within the bladder at an early stage of Emphysematous Cystitis. Prevalence of Emphysematous Cystitis may be underestimated if only radiographs are made.Peer reviewe
