Resumen

La infección urinaria por bacterias productoras de ureasa conlleva una elevación del pH que favorece la precipitación de sales de calcio y cristales de estruvita. Depositadas sobre una superficie vesical con inflamación crónica o una lesión previa, pueden inducir la aparición de una cistitis alcalina incrustante, una lesión rara en la actualidad. En el caso que presentamos, correspondiente a un varón de 69 años, se halló Corynebacterium urealiticum en la orina, y en el área de incrustación resecada endoscópicamente, se hallaron focos de malacoplaquia. Este parece ser el tercer ejemplo en la bibliografía de cistitis alcalina incrustante asociada a malacoplaquia, dos entidades que presentan signos clínicos similares y probablemente tienen mecanismos etiopatogénicos comunes.

Abstract

Urinary infection due to urea splitting bacteria leads to a rise in urinary pH, favouring the precipitation of calcium salts and struvita cristals. If deposited on the surface of a bladder with chronic inflammation or some other previous lesion, may produce an alkaline encrusted cystitis, now a rare condition. In the case here presented, ocurred in a 69-year-old male, Corynebacterium urealyticum grown in the urine, and some foci of malakoplakia were found in the area of encrustation endoscopically excised. This case seems to be the third example of alkaline encrusted cystitis associated with malakoplakia reported in the bibliography. These two conditions share similar clinical signs and may probably have a common aetiopatogenesis.
