[Clinical evaluation of Uro-Vaxom in treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections in girls].

Uro-Vaxom was used in the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections in 28 girls. Most of them (27/28) tolerated the drug very well, no side effects were observed. We stopped administration of the Uro-Vaxom in one girl during the first month of treatment because of vomiting. Uro-Vaxom efficiency was, therefore, evaluated in 27 girls. Uro-Vaxom was found to be a valuable drug, supplementing antibiotic therapy in recurrent urinary tract infections caused by E. coli.

[Atypical form of phenylketonuria caused by lack of dihydrobiopterin synthetase activity].

A case of non-typical phenylketonuria produced by the inactivity of dihydrobiopterin synthetases is presented. Dihydrobiopterin synthetases are enzymes converting neopterin to biopterin. Presented case indicates a possibility of erroneous classification of hyperphenylalaninemia due to BH4 deficit, if the complete differential diagnosis is not performed. A complete differential diagnosis is necessary in all cases of hyperphenylalaninemia distinguished in neonates during screening tests.
