Fluorescence diagnosis has an increasing importance in differentmedical fields. In the presented paper,comparison of cystoscopy in white light with fluorescence cystoscopy after intravesical administration of 1 g of5-aminolevulinic acid is presented.Methods and Results. From the group of 63 persons examined, no difference between findings in white and bluelight was found in 39 cases. In 21 patients more pathological spotswere found in blue light (10 cases) or, in agreementwith histology, pathology was detected in the blue light only (11 cases).Conclusions. The intravesical administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid had no side effects. Our study has definitelyproved the advantages of fluorescence cystoscopy.
Key words:
