Abstract
We report the successful use of prostaglandin F2 alpha continuous blad der irrigation in two patients for the treatment of intractable cyclop hosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis which was resistant to convent ional therapy in two patients. A 0.7 mg% solution of prostaglandin F2 alpha was used for continuous bladder irrigation at a rate of 150 to 2 00 cc/hr for four days. The response was complete in both patients and no side effects were noted.
