At initial stages, PAH is generally suspected as congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Transient PHA has been reported in infants with urinary tract infection and urinary tract malformation. We report a case of 5-month-old infant with failure to thrive and finally diagnosed with transient PHA due to urinary tract infection with vesicoureteral reflux.

Hereby, we report a 60-year-old female who presented with abrupt right flank pain and was diagnosed as spontaneous renal rupture with subcapsular hematoma related to urinary tract infection and review related literatures.

The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between lower urinary tract infection & overactive bladder revelation and vaginal pH by age group.
Subjects were schizophrenic out-patients, who fufilled DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, and their families.
This study found a positive correlation between age and vaginal pH(p=0.000). It also found that the contraction of cystitis patients was high in older age group(p=0.035). However, vaginal pH was not a significant factor to the contraction of cystitis(p=0.258). In older age group, the number of overactive bladder patients was higher than that of younger age group(p=0.05), while vaginal pH was not a significant factor to the contraction of overactive bladder(p=0.376).
Diseases that cause lower urinary tract symptom such as overactive bladder and recurrent cystitis increase in proportion to age. Vaginal pH also increases in proportion to age. However, vaginal pH is not a significant factor to the contraction of lower urinary tract symptom when the age is revised.
