Pyuria (leukocyturia). Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

The literal translation of the term "pyuria (leukocyturia)" is "pus in the urine" (Greek pyos - pus, urоs - urine). The true meaning of the term "pyuria" is acquired in patients with pyonephrosis, when antegrade voluntary drainage into the bladder occurs. Pyuria is evidence that an acute inflammatory process is developing in the genitourinary system - cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, pyonephrosis and other diseases.

Pyruvate kinase deficiency

Deficiency of pyruvate kinase activity is the second most common cause of hereditary hemolytic anemia after G6PD deficiency. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, manifests itself as chronic hemolytic (non-spherocytic) anemia, occurs with a frequency of 1:20,000 in the population, and is observed in all ethnic groups.

Pyrophosphate arthropathy.

Pyrophosphate arthropathy, or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease, is a disease caused by the formation and deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in connective tissue.

Pyosalpinx and tuboovarian abscess. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Pyosalpinx is a collection of pus in the fallopian tube in salpingitis. Tuboovarian abscess is a cavity in the area of the fallopian tube and ovary containing pus and separated from the surrounding tissues by a pyogenic membrane.

Pyonephrosis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Pyonephrosis is a pathological condition that occurs as a result of complicated pyelonephritis and is characterized by purulent-destructive processes in the renal tissue.

Pyometra. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Pyometra is an accumulation of pus in the uterus as a result of infection of the contents of the uterine cavity with pyogenic microorganisms due to a disruption of the outflow from its cavity.

Pyogenic granuloma

Some scientists believe that pyogenic granuloma is a specific form of pyoderma. Some dermatologists consider it a capillary hemangioma with a secondary granulomatous reaction. In recent years, it has been suggested that the disease is based on angioblastoma, which is accompanied by a bacterial infection.

Pyogenic granuloma

A chronic, atypical, vegetative pathology – pyogenic granuloma – occurs in areas with a long-standing infection (usually staphylococcal). Thus, pyogenic granuloma is often found in the oral cavity, near the nail plates or fistulas.

Pyodermitis

Pyoderma (Greek pyon - pus, derma - skin) - pustular skin diseases caused by pyogenic microorganisms, mainly staphylococci, streptococci, and less often by other microorganisms.

Pyoderma gangrenosum. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Gangrenous pyoderma is a chronic, progressive skin necrosis of unknown etiology, often associated with a systemic disease.

Pyocolpos. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Incomplete doubling of the uterus with the presence of an additional closed vagina is accompanied by a unilateral delay in menstrual blood. A characteristic sign of the disease is the presence of persistent algomenorrhea.

Pyelonephritis in the elderly

Pyelonephritis in the elderly is a non-specific infectious and inflammatory disease of the kidneys, affecting the renal parenchyma, mainly the interstitial tissue, pelvis and calyces. The disease can be unilateral and bilateral, primary and secondary, recurrent and latent.

Pyelonephritis in pregnancy - Overview of information

Acute gestational pyelonephritis, or pyelonephritis during pregnancy, complicates the course of pregnancy in more than 10% of women.

Pyelonephritis in children

Pyelonephritis in children is a special case of urinary tract infection (UTI). The common feature of all urinary tract infections is the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the urinary tract.

Pyelonephritis

Pyelonephritis is an infectious and inflammatory disease of the kidneys with predominant damage to the renal pelvis and calyces, tubulointerstitial tissue and often with involvement of the glomerular apparatus.

Pyeloectasia in children

Pyeloectasia is defined when the renal pelvis, the cavities that collect urine from the kidney calyxes, are found to be abnormally enlarged. Pyeloectasia in children is mostly congenital and does not always pose any health risks.

Pyeloectasia in adults

Enlargement of the renal calyx - called pyeloectasia - can occur both normally and in various pathologic conditions.

Purulent-inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs

The Geneva International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries, and Causes of Death (WHO, 1980) includes the following nosological forms of inflammatory diseases of the internal genital organs.

Purulent tubo-ovarian masses

Sudden onset of diseases with a pronounced clinical picture, general and local changes characteristic of acute inflammation of the internal genital organs, occurs in only one out of three women who become ill for the first time. 30% of women who have inflammation of the appendages that has already become chronic seek medical help for the first time.

Purulent salpingitis

Acute purulent salpingitis is more often of specific, less often of polymicrobial etiology. It develops, as a rule, as a result of gonorrhea. Most often, purulent salpingitis begins acutely with an increase in temperature, sometimes accompanied by chills, the appearance of pain in the lower abdomen, abundant purulent leucorrhoea and pain when urinating.
