Eosinophils count correlating with cystitis in Nineveh Governorate

Abstract

The study dealt with studying the effect of cystitis on eosinophils count in infected people of both sexes.Urine and blood specimens were collected from infected (106) females and (74) males with cystitis, their ages ranged between few months to (80) years. Blood and urine specimens were also collected from (111) healthy persons (67) females and (44) males within the same age range mentioned above, were collected as control. The results showed that the percentage of infection with cystitis was more among females of the age group (11 – 20) years (14.5) % while (12.7) % in males of the age group (51 – 60) years old preceded usually by prostatitis. Comparing the numbers of eosinophils in the blood of infected and non infected people with cystitis showed no significant difference which shows that cystitis had no effect on the eosinophils count. The results revealed that Escherichia coli dominated all other bacterial species causing cystitis (47.2) % , while other Enterobacteriaceae (Klebsiella pneumoniae , Proteus mirabilis , Enterobacter aerogenes) were isolated at rates (16.1) %, (10.5) % and (5.6) % respectively . While Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staph. aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated at rates (7.8) %, (7.2) % and (5.6) % respectively .
