title: Cystourethritis.
abstract: We believe this review lists the major factors and mechanisms considered responsible for producing cystourethritis. Knowledge of these factors and mechanisms is essential before effective investigation of this disease can be undertaken. We suggest a rational scheme for investigation of these patients. We believe successful treatment depends on establishing the probable cause in each individual patient. In view of the multifactorial etiology of the disease, attempts to find a single effective medical or surgical therapy will be doomed to failure.
