TWO CASES OF CONTRACTED BLADDER AND HYDRO-URETERONEPHROSIS WITH GENERALIZED AUTOIMMUNE PHENOMENA

Abstract

Two cases of contracted bladder with positive autoimmune phenomena were reported. Case 1 was a 38 year old woman and case 2 was a 42 year old woman. Both cases had complained of gastrointestinal and urogenital symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dysuria and frequency. Serum antinuclear antibody of the two cases was positive. Contracted bladder and bilateral hydroureter-onephrosis had progressed for several months, and temporal urinary diversion was needed. Case 1 was recovered from contracted bladder spontaneously, but case 2 remained ill in spite of steroid therapy.
