Summary— In order to study the effect of urinary infections upon the incidence of bladder instability during cystometric evaluation, 15 women underwent cystometry during the course of significant bacteriuria (10 5 organisms/ml) and again 2 weeks after treatment. The pre‐treatment incidence of bladder instability (53%) dropped by 50% following treatment of the infection but other cystometric measurements remained unchanged. Urinary tract infections must be treated adequately before treating bladder instability.
