title: Chyluria as a cause of haematuria in patients from endemic areas.
abstract: Chyluria is an unusual cause of haematuria in temperate regions and is rarely considered even when no apparent cause has been found. We report 3 Guyanese men who presented with macroscopic haematuria in whom pyelo-lymphatic fistulae were found. In none of the patients were the symptoms severe enough for surgical disconnection of the fistula to be required.
