ABSTRACT A 9 yr old male neutered Staffordshire bull terrier with a history of poorly controlled hyperadrenocorticism, urinary tract infections, and emphysematous cystitis (EC) was presented to a veterinary referral teaching hospital for vomiting. Abdominal radiographs revealed EC and a pneumoperitoneum. The urinary bladder was found to be intact based on ultrasound and a pre- and postiohexol contrast computed tomography study with retrograde contrast cystogram. Urine culture confirmed the presence of a recurrent Escherichia coli urinary tract infection. The patient was managed medically, primarily as an outpatient, and had complete resolution of all problems. This case represents an extremely rare form of EC with pneumoperitoneum, without evidence of concurrent urinary bladder rupture. Only six similar cases have been reported in humans, with no previous cases reported in veterinary medicine. This case demonstrated that surgery is not necessarily indicated in all cases of pneumoperitoneum. The patient remained alive at 2 mo follow-up, with no evidence of recurrence of EC.

Background Enuresis is inappropriate urination by a child whohas reached an age which bladder control is expected. The etiologyis unknown, but some factors influence it.Objective To identify enuresis profiles in 6-7 year-old children.Methods It was a descriptive prospective study at five elementaryschools in Sario district Manado from May to September 2005.Data were obtained by questionnaires.Results Out of 63 children with enuresis, 67% aged 6 years, 57%were male, 37% had enuresis more than 4 times a month, 64%had enuresis more than 8 times a day. No one had complaint ofurinary tract infection. Most cases (70%) had enuresis since birth,51% of cases got toilet training at the age of 3-4 years old. Noneof enuretic children had divorced parents. Nocturnal enuresisoccurred in 81% of cases, 54% of cases had 4 family members,30% of cases had family history of enuresis.Conclusions Enuresis in 6-7 year old children is most commonlyseen in boys. Enuresis mostly happens for more than 4 times in amonth with urination more than 8 times a day. There is nocomplaint of urinary tract infection. Most of the cases haveenuresis during nighttime. Toilet training starts by the age 3-4years old. Most cases had enuresis since birth. They came from afamily with 4 family members, and in most situation no familyhistory of enuresis is found.

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the second most prevalent pediatric infection, and if it is not recognized and treated properly, it can cause severe irreversible complications such as renal failure and hypertension. In this research, some of the risk factors of UTIs were compared in children with urinary tract infections.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, with the urinary tract infection as the dependent variable and gender, circumcision status, history of urinary catheterization, family history, history of renal stone, hypercalciuria, constipation history, reflux, neurogenic bladder, phimosis, posterior urethral valves (PUV), ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), and ureterovesical junction obstruction (UVJO) as the independent variables. A total of 405 children were studied in this research. The data was collected using questionnaires, checklists, and examinations. Data analysis was also carried out using descriptive and analytical statistics method in SPSS.Results: This research revealed the prevalence of urinary tract infection among children with several risk factors, and the common factors were positive family history, history of urinary catheterization, constipation, and other non-anatomical disorders (history of renal stone and hypercalciuria. The most common risk factors regardless of gender and age were non-anatomic disorders that were observed in 147 cases (43.7%) (p-value<0.001). Among the non-anatomical factors, constipation was the most common factor observed in 66 cases (16.3%). A higher rate of urinary infection was observed in the uncircumcised male patients than the circumcised patients, and there was a significant relationship between circumcision and UTI.Conclusions: In this study, urinary tract infection staged a significant relationship with gender, circumcision status, urinary catheterization history, family history, renal stone history, hypercalciuria, history of constipation, reflux, neurogenic bladder, phimosis, PUV, UPJO, and UVJO.

Acute myocarditis is a rare complication of Escherichia coli urinary tract infection and sepsis. We report the case of a previously healthy 55-year-old female who presented to our emergency department with diarrhea and hypotension. The basic metabolic panel results showed an increase in inflammatory markers and an acute kidney injury. Urine and blood cultures grew Escherichia coli. The patient subsequently developed sudden chest pain and shortness of breath, diffuse ST-segment elevation, and cardiac enzymes’ elevation. Coronary angiogram was normal, and transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated normal ventricular functions. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was highly suspicious of myopericarditis. The patient made a full recovery after infection treatment with intravenous antibiotics, aspirin, and colchicine.
