Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an Etiologic Agent of Nephrolithiasis in Deep Water Divers
Background: A number of occupations and professions may be associated with unique hazards relevant to urologic care. Case Presentation: We relate the presentation, care, and the occupational hazard of urinary tract infection (UTI), presenting as cystitis and pyelonephritis, with stone formation in a...

description | Background: A number of occupations and professions may be associated with unique hazards relevant to urologic care. Case Presentation: We relate the presentation, care, and the occupational hazard of urinary tract infection (UTI), presenting as cystitis and pyelonephritis, with stone formation in a scuba diver. The patient voiced concern that his diving suit malfunction was related to his UTI and stone disease. We review the risk of UTI in the diving environment. We also report the development of infection-related stone in this case. Our evaluation included consultation with an expert in diving and associated equipment. Conclusion: Careful installation of P-valves in dry suits, proper maintenance, and monitoring for leakage improved post-dive hygiene, and proper maintenance of P-valve tubing and diving equipment may decrease the incidence of these complications described. Urologists treating UTI and stone disease should be aware of this occupation-related hazard. |
