Pathways of infection in acute pyelitis. Levy (Deut. Arch. f. kl. Med., Bd. 138)
It is known that b. coli is the causative agent in almost 70% of acute pyelitis. But how does the renal pelvis become infected? There are 3 theories: 1) hematogenic (descending), 2) intestinal (hematogenic and lymphogenic) and 3) ascending (through the lymphatic vessels of the ureter and ureteric lumen). According to the descending gematogenic theory, especially widespread in France and America, pathogenic microorganisms that entered the blood in one way or another, being excreted by the kidneys, infect the renal pelvis.
