Introduction: Haemophilus influenzae commonly causes upper respiratory tract infections and has only rarely been reported etiology of urinary tract infections. Since the introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae b (Hib) vaccine, non-typable haemophilus species now cause the majority of invasive disease in Europe. Case Report: We report a case of an adult man with non-typable Haemophilus influenzae septicemia, urinary tract infection and bilateral renal stone disease. The patient presented with right sided flank pain and a CT scan showed bilateral renal stones and a right sided ureteral stone causing obstruction. Results and Discussion: Haemophilus influenzae was identified in blood and urine and despite a tendency of increasing antibiotic resistance among Haemophilus influenzae, our strain was susceptible to all antibiotics tested. Treatment consisted of 3 days of intravenous cefuroxime, insertion of a right sided JJ ureteric stent and 5 days of peroral ciprofloxacin after discharge. Physicians and microbiologists should be aware of Haemophilus influenzae as a possible urinary tract pathogen, especially when urinary tract abnormalities are present, and take the risk of antibiotic resistance into consideration at initial treatment.

Kidney and urinary stone disease (Nephrolithiasis and urolithiasis) are the condition where urinary stones or calculi are formed in the urinary tract. The problem of urinary stones is very ancient; these stones are found in all parts of the urinary tract, kidney, ureters, and the urinary bladder and may vary considerably in size. It is a common disease estimated to occur in approximately 12% of the population, with a recurrence rate of 70-81% in males and 47-60% in females. The treatment of kidney and urinary stone diseases such as a western (allopathy) medicine and surgery is now in trends. However, most people preferred plant-based (herbal) therapy because of the overuse of allopathic drugs, which results in a higher incidence rate of adverse or severe side effects. Therefore, people every year turn to herbal therapy because they believe plant-based medicine is free from undesirable side effects, although herbal medicines are generally considered to be safe and effective. In the present article, an attempt has been made to emphasize an herbal therapy is better than allopathic therapy for the management of the kidney and urinary stone disease.

Abstract: Food Consumption Risk Against The Incidence Of Urinary Tract Stones. BSK (Urinary track stone; Urolithiasis) is a health problem that had long been known and ranked in the third place of Urology. Based on the data in the RSUD Dr. Soedarso Pontianak BSK case data always has increased each year. In 2014 as much as 31.236 cases. In  2015 the proportion of urinary stone disease was 36.182%. While in the period January-November of 2016 the proportion of urinary stone disease was 44.75%. BSK has greater risk suffered by men. Men have the anatomy of the urinary tract is longer than the female. In addition, in the male urine calcium levels are higher, compounded if you have the habit of holding urinate and bad eating patterns.  The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between food consumption at the risk of urinary tract stones. Type of this research is a case-control design. The Sample research is 96 respondents (48 cases and 48 controls) taken with purposive sampling technique. Statistical tests using the chi-square with a confidence level of 95%. The results of this study indicate that factors into the risk of formation of BSK is a source of protein consumption consumption (P Value = 0.051, OR: 2,616 (1,083-6,321)), vegetable consumption (P Value = 0.040, OR: 2.571 mg (1,124-5,884)). It is recommended to the Provincial Hospital Dr. Soedarso Pontianak convene regular health promotion by making use of television media available in the waiting room of a patient primarily about the foods that can cause the formation of such BSK the consumption of high protein and vegetable sources contain oxalate.Abstrak: Konsumsi Makanan Yang Berisiko Terhadap Kejadian Batu Saluran Kemih. Batu Saluan Kemih (BSK) merupakan masalah kesehatan yang sudah lama dikenal dan menempati urutan ketiga di bidang Urologi. Berdasarkan data di RSUD Dr. Soedarso Pontianak data kasus BSK selalu mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya, yaitu sebanyak 31,23% tahun 2014, sebanyak 36,18% tahun 2015 dan sebanyak 44,75% pada bulan Januari-November 2016. BSK memiliki risiko lebih besar diderita oleh laki-laki. Laki-laki memiliki anatomi saluran kemih lebih panjang dari perempuan. Selain itu, dalam urine laki-laki kadar kalsium lebih tinggi, diperparah jika memiliki kebiasaan menahan buang air kecil dan pola makan yang kurang baik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan dan besar risiko antara konsumsi makanan dengan batu saluran kemih.  Jenis penelitian ini adalah desain kasus kontrol. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 96 responden (48 kasus dan 48 kontrol) yang diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling. Uji statistik menggunakan chi-square dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95%. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan faktor yang menjadi risiko terbentuknya BSK adalah konsumsi konsumsi sumber protein (p value = 0,051, OR: 2,616 (1,083-6,321)), konsumsi sayur ( p-value = 0,040, OR: 2,571(1,124-5,884)). Disarankan kepada RSUD Dr. Soedarso Pontianak untuk mengadakan promosi kesehatan secara berkala dengan memanfaatkan media televisi yang tersedia di ruang tunggu pasien terutama mengenai makanan-makanan yang dapat menyebabkan terbentuknya BSK seperti konsumsi sumber protein tinggi dan sayur mengandung oksalat.

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. We report a 6-year-old male with type IIA2 (Y-type) using Effmann’s classification. The accessory urethra, in which a urinary stone existed, arose from the posterior urethra to the scrotum. Because of recurrent urinary tract infection and urinary discharge from the accessory urethra, surgical removal of the accessory urethra through a scrotal incision was performed. At 7-month postoperative follow-up the patient was completely free from urinary incontinence and urinary tract infection.

Objectives: To study the basic clinical pattern of urinary stone disease in our setting.Study design: Descriptive study.Setting: Department of surgery of Nawabshah Medical College Nawabshah over a period of 4 years between August 2003to August 2007.Subjects: A total of 257 urolith patients with different stone burden enrolled in the study.Methodology: Structured and standardized history and clinical investigations collected in all of urolith patients. Thediagnosis of stone disease was based on history, physical examination followed by KUB x-ray, ultrasonography and IVU .Allpatients subjected to open stone surgery. The data were analyzed prospectively with outcome measures of gender, stonelocation, clinical presentation and operative procedures.Results: Out of 257 patients 181 (70.42%) were male and 76 (29.56%) female with male to female ratio of 2.3:1.The ageranged from 1 year to 80 with the mean of 25.8 years. The peak incidence of upper urinary tract stones was in 20-30 yearswhile lower urinary tract stones in both sexes were under 10 years (Table 1). Anatomical distribution of stone showed 116(45.16%) renal, 21 (8.17%) ureteric, 108 (42%) bladder and 12 (4.66%) urethral calculi (Table 2). The commonest clinicalpresentation was that of pain in 67.31% of patients associated with haematuria in 26.7% of cases. Clinical urinary tractinfection (UTI) was in 15% and 8.9% of patients had spontaneous stone passage (lithuria). The symptoms of bladder outletobstruction (BOO) including retention of urine were in 7% of cases. Calculus anuria was in 1.9% of cases and 8.1% patientshad asymptomatic stones. Bilithiasis (chole-nephrolithiasis) was in 5% of cases (Table 3). Open stone surgery included 84(32.68%) simple pylolithotomies, 15 (5.83%) extended pylolithotomies, 6 (2.33%) pylolithotomy and pyloplasty, 5 (1.94%)nephrolithotomy, 6 (2.33%) nephrectomies, 21 (8.17%) uretrolithotomy, Cystolithotomy was 113 (43.96%) cystolithotomy, 2(0.77%) urethrolithotomy and meatotomy in 5 (1.94%) of patients.Conclusion: Urolithiasis is increasing problem with high frequency of bladder stones and male predominance in our part ofSindh province. Open surgery is still needed to treat the patients where modern and minimally invasive therapeutic modalitiesare out of reach and non-availability in public sector. Establishment of modern stone clinics in rural setup is the need oftoday’s medical practice.Keywords: Urinary calculi, Clinical profile, Open stone surgery.
