Eosinophilic cystitis: a therapeutic challenge

Urology. 1988 Dec;32(6):535-7. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(98)90037-1.

Abstract

Eosinophilic cystitis is a rare disease with only 42 cases reported since first described in 1960. We report a case in a twenty-four-year-old woman and present the different therapeutic alternatives. A review of all reported cases shows that except for children and male adults with benign prostatic hypertrophy, this is a chronic inflammatory process of unknown causation for which no specific therapy is available.
