[Eosinophilic cystitis. A survey].

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, diagnostic criteria and treatment of eosinophilic cystitis in the period 1989-94 in Denmark. A questionnaire was sent to all Danish surgical, urological and pathological-anatomical departments. Fifty-six patients were diagnosed as having eosinophilic cystitis at the surgical departments and 135 patients were diagnosed at the pathological-anatomical departments. The treatment was most often instillation of steroids in the bladder or oral antihistamine. Success of treatment was generally acceptable. The questionnaire confirmed that eosinophilic cystitis is a rare disease. We recommend the pathological-anatomical departments to use certain diagnostic criteria for eosinophilic cystitis. The treatment is symptomatic. A diagnostic number from the Danish Health Board is needed.

Eosinophilic cystitis--diagnosis and treatment in Denmark.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, diagnostic criteria and treatment of eosinophilic cystitis (EC) in Denmark during the period 1989-94. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A questionnaire was sent to all Danish departments of surgery, urology and pathology. RESULTS: Fifty-six cases of EC were diagnosed in the departments of surgery and urology, and 135 patients were diagnosed in the departments of pathology. The therapy was most often steroid instillation in the bladder or peroral antihistamines. Success rates of treatment were reported to be acceptable. CONCLUSION: The questionnaire confirmed that EC is a rare disease, which is often confused with other bladder diseases. We recommend strict histological criteria combined with clinical information when making the diagnosis of EC. Therapy is generally symptomatic. A diagnostic code number from the Danish Health Board is needed.

[Breech presentation, vaginal delivery or cesarean section?].

Since the late sixties, the question of wether a breech presentation should be delivered vaginally or by caesarean section has been discussed by obstetricians, with special reference to the aim of improving foetal outcome. This review of the literature surveys the ante- and intrapartum considerations and activities which should be carried out in cases of breech presentation. The factors influencing foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality are discussed, and external cephalic version is considered. Based on these considerations and a careful examination of the pregnant woman and her obstetric history, we suggest vaginal delivery in strictly selected breech presentations. Selection criteria are given.
