The present paper reports on 7 cases of primary infections, pyelonephritis and pyelocystitis, in which acrids were found in the urine during acute attacks. The cases were detected in the clinical laboratory of a county Hospital. All the 7 patients, ranging in age from 6 to 60 years, exhibited characteristic symptoms of pyelonephritis and pyelocystitis. Numerous acarids were found in the urinary sediment and, in some cases, also their eggs. Some of the acarids were motile, others were encrusted with salts. A female acarid was detected while laying eggs. In 6 patients the acardis were found in the urine only at the first examination and disappeared following the of urinary infection; in the seventh case they were detected at three consecutive examinations performed at 3--6 days interval.

Studies were carried out on the etiology, clinical picture, morphologic changes, and methods of prophylaxis of the cystopyelitis in hybrid pigs. It was established that in the cases studied the etiologic part is most probably played by Escherichia coli having pronounced virulence for albino mice. Clinically the disease was manifested with hematuria--the cardinal diagnostic symptom; histologically there were nephritis, pyelonephritis, and strong edemas on the wall of the bladder. When hematuria appeared the affected pigs died (at the rate of 100 per cent) as a result of acute anemia. Prophylactic measures have been especially successful with the use of streptomycin to which the isolated coli strains proved sensitive.

In order to evaluate effectiveness and tolerance of treatment with 300 mg tablets of enoxacine (one every 12 hours), 30 patients between the ages of 29 and 75 were selected (51.23 +/- 2.19 yrs. was the average age), 4 males and 26 females; 18 patients had acute cystitis, 7 had pyelonephritis, 4 had cystopyelitis, and 1 had urethroprostatitis. Treatment lasted on average of 10.77 +/- 0.52 days, with a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 20 days. Initial culture analysis of urine samples ascertained the presence of microbial pathogens sensitive to enoxacine. After one week of treatment, culture analysis of urine samples did not reveal the presence of these pathogens, all having been successfully eliminated. The improvement of the objective and symptomatic parameters chosen for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment was found to be rapid and decisive in the majority of patients. The systemic tolerance was good; the side effects were minimal (three cases of slight gastroenteric intolerance). At the end of treatment, results were considered excellent in 18 patients and good in 12, on the basis of the more or less rapid resolution of the clinical and symptomatic situation.
