A patient with twenty years of persistent bacteriuria secondary to unilateral medullary sponge kidney, and in whom no antibiotic would sterilize the urine, was cured of her infection by nephrectomy in the presence of contralateral hydronephrosis. A review of the literature shows 23 cases of unilateral medullary sponge kidney in which nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy was apparently equally successful, although no bacteriologic follow-up data are given.
一名患有单侧髓质海绵肾继发二十年持续性菌尿症的患者,在使用任何抗生素都无法使尿液无菌的情况下,在对侧肾积水的情况下通过肾切除术治愈了感染。文献回顾显示有23例单侧髓质海绵肾患者,其中肾切除术或部分肾切除术显然同样成功,尽管未给出细菌学随访数据。
