title: Infection stones. Evaluation and management.
abstract: Infection stones may be the cause of persistent or recurrent bacterial urinary infection. Evaluation of the infection and the character of the stones often aids in the selection of management and treatment options. The ultimate success of the treatment of infection stones should be measured, however, by control or removal of both the stone and the urinary infection.
