title: Recurrent eosinophilic cystitis: a case responsive to steroids.
abstract: We report a case of eosinophilic cystitis that was responsive to prednisone but that recurred when the drug was withdrawn. The cause of eosinophilic cystitis remains an enigma but it probably represents a form of allergy. Investigation of etiology and therapeutic options are discussed.
