title: Two cases of eosinophilic cystitis induced by tranilast.
abstract: We report 2 cases of eosinophilic cystitis induced by Tranilast, which was used for the treatment of bronchial asthma. In case 2 Tranilast itself and its metabolic derivative proved to be inciting agents by a drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test. The literature on this association is reviewed.
