Η ΣΥΜΒΟΛΗ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΛΛΙΕΡΓΕΙΑΣ ΤΩΝ ΧΕΙΡΟΥΡΓΙΚΩΣ ΑΦΑΙΡΕΘΕΝΤΩΝ ΛΙΘΩΝ ΤΟΥ ΑΝΩΤΕΡΟΥ ΟΥΡΟΠΟΙΗΤΙΚΟΥ ΣΥΣΤΗΜΑΤΟΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΝΤΙΜΕΤΩΠΙΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΦΛΕΓΜΟΝΩΔΟΥΣ ΛΙΘΙΑΣΕΩΣ

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN INFECTION RENAL CALCULI OR SO-CALLED STRUVITE STONES AND URINARY TRACT INFECTION WITH UREASE PRODUCING MICRO-ORGANISMS IS WELL DOCUMENTED. THE LITHOGENIC MECHANISM OF INFECTION INDUCED STONES HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED TO IDENTIFY THE INFECTIVE OR NOT NATURE OF URINARY STONES IN ORDER TO PLAN THE APPROPRIATE THERAPY. WITH A VIEW TO IDENTIFYING THE BETWEEN URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND STONE FORMATION, 200 PATIENTS WHO WERE TO UNDERGO A STONE REMOVAL OPERATION WERE STUDIED PROSPECTIVELY FOR: 1) URINARY TRACT INFECTION PRE-AND-POST- OPERATIVELY, 2) CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE STONE, 3) STONE CULTURE, 4) METABOLIC DISORDERS. RESULTS INDICATED A CLOSE CONNECTION BETWEEN URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND INFECTION STONES. OUR OBSERVATIONS THAT MICRO-ORGANISMS WERE FOUND IN PATIENTS WHOSE URINE WAS STERILE REINFORCES OUR VIEW THAT THE SURGICALLY REMOVED STONES SHOULD BE CULTURED FOR MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND TREATMENT OF THE INFECTION IN PATIENTS WITH STONE DISEASE. FINALLY THE CLOSE CONNECTION IN OUR SERIES BETWEEN PERSISTENT OR RECURRENT URINARY TRACT INFECTION AND STONE RECURRENCE IN PATIENTS WITH INFECTION STONES BRINGS US TO THE CONCLUSION THAT TREATMENT MUST INVOLVE NOT ONLY THE REMOVAL OF THE STONE BUT ALSO SPECIFIC LONG-TERM ANTIBACTERIAL TREATMENT WHICH SHOULD BE ARRANGED BEARING IN MIND THE MICRO-ORGANISMS CULTURED IN URINE AND IN STONE.
