Purpose: To evaluate the clinical features according to co-morbidity in patients with acute hemorrhagic cystitis who visited the emergency room.
Materials and Methods : We evaluated 60 patients who visited the emergency room due to acute hemorrhagic cystitis symptoms. We evaluated voiding and storage symptoms, urine analysis, urine culture, and presence of co-morbidities, and analyzed clinical features between group of presence of co-morbidity (group I) and absence of co-morbidity (group II) through review of medical records.
Results: The mean age of 60 patients was 55.3±22.3 years (19-84) including 14 male (23.3%) and 46 female (76.7%). The mean age of group I (n=37) and II (n=23) were 62.9±19.8 (22-84) and 43.4 ±17.8 years (19-74), respectively (p=0.102). The most common clinical symptom was dysuria (35.0%) followed by frequency (11.7%) and urgency (3.3%). Pyuria more than 5 WBC/HPF in urine was revealed in 36 patients (60.0%): 22 (59.5%) and 14 (60.8%) in group I and II, respectively (p>0.05). Positive urine culture was found in 25 patients (41.7%): 18 (81.8%) in group I and 7 (18.4%) in group II, respectively (p<0.05), and cultured organisms were E. coli (68.0%), Entrococcus (20.0%), Pseudomonas (4.0%) and Sphingomonas (4.0%).
