Acute pyuria caused by dysentery bacillus

Abstract

In a short time the author observed 5 cases of acute pyuria caused by dysentery bacillus. A. assumes that such patients were carriers of the dysentery bacillus before the disease; only after entering the urinary tract, the bacillus causes an acute inflammatory process. The dysentery bacillus most likely enters the urinary tract by an ascending route, like bact. coli. This is supported by the fact that all 5 cases observed by the author were girls and none of them showed signs of sepsis.
