Zusammenfassung
Symptome der überaktiven Blase sind häufig. Rund 17 % aller vierzigjährigen Patientinnen sind davon betroffen. Das klinische Bild einer Neurosyphilis ist vielfältig. Die neurologischen Ausfallserscheinungen, welche den unteren Harntrakt betreffen, sind selten und betreffen meistens Patienten in einer späten Phase der tertiären Syphilis. Die Symptome, welche Hinweise auf eine neurologische Beteiligung der Harnblase geben, sind meist nicht einem einzigen Komplex zuzuordnen sondern vielschichtig. Dieser interessante Fall einer therapieresistenten überaktiven Blase auf Grund einer Luesinfektion verdeutlicht, dass in solchen Fällen differenzialdiagnostisch an eine infektiöse Genese gedacht werden sollte.
Abstract
The prevalence of overactive bladder (OAB) is approximately 17 % in 40-year-old women. The clinical appearance of neurosyphilis is variable and neurological implications which include the lower urinary tract are rare and are usually seen in patients with tertiary syphilis. Symptoms which can lead to the diagnosis of a neurological problem are often unspecific. This interesting case of OAB did not respond to conservative therapy. Infectious causes should be considered in cases of non-responders to conservative therapy.
