[Errors in recognition of acute diseases of organs of the abdominal cavity and urinary tract].

In the paper, an analysis of diagnostic errors in treatment of 731 patients is given. 499 of these patients were directed to the clinic with acute abdominal diseases, while clinical investigations revealed pathological changes in the urinary tract. In the second group consisting of 232 patients, directed to the clinic with the urinary tract pathology, acute diseases of the thoracic and abdominal organs were recognized. Based on the analysis of clinical findings and the literature data, the author indicates that in the differential diagnosis of these lesions the primary attention should be given to a careful questioning of patients and available methods of exploration, since complicated diagnostic apparatuses seem to be necessary only in special cases.
