title: Abacterial cystitis.
abstract: 5 young male patients with all the symptoms and signs of genito-urinary tuberculosis but in whom no organism could be cultured from the urine are described. 4 of them rapidly responded to a course of tetracycline. Various organisms are suggested as a cause of this condition, and careful bacteriological investigation in the future might discover the cause.
