[Eosinophilic cystitis].
Six cases of eosinophilic cystitis are described, one of which had no previous surgery or manipulation of the bladder. The literature is reviewed and the clinical and anatomopathological features are described. We discuss the diagnostic criteria, treatment, prognosis and the hypothesis of an immediate-type of anaphylactic reaction as a pathogenic mechanism.
