the aim of the study

Presentation of the material concerning chronic proliferative cystitis in girls in puberty.

material and methods

The cases of 13 patients, with the mean age 15.7 years, were analyzed. The causes of introducent treatment were dysuric complains and erythrocyturia. Six patients were hospitalized due to dysuria in the history while 3 ? to erythrocyturia. The urine culture was positive in 5 patients, ?aseptic? leukocyturia ? in 2 patients, and chronic inflammation of vestibulae of the vagina ? in 6 girls. The cystoscopy with histopathological examination revealed ?cystitis chronica? in 4 patients and other proliferative lesions, of dysplastic and metaplastic characters in the region of bladder triangle were observed in 9 girls. These lesions were superficially coagulated. There were no changes within the mucosa of the urethra. Due to a local recurrence in 5 patients, the procedure was repeated, and 1 patient had the coagulation performed 3 times, which resulted in improvement. Seven patients (2 ? with ?aseptic? leukocyturia and 5 ? with changes in the vaginal vestibulae) were diagnosed for the presence of Chlamydia and mycoplasmatic infections, however, obtaining only 1 positive result for Ureaplasma urealyticum. The gynecological treatment improved the condition of the genital tract but it did not affect the urinary changes.
