    Acute pyelonephritis, considered the third most important bacterial infection statistically, is the most significant disease in renal pathology. The Sternheimer and Malbin staining technique provided a simple and accessible means for diagnosing pyelonephritis, where titillating cells—polymorphonuclear leukocytes containing cytoplasmic granules that exhibit Brownian motion—can be observed. The objective of the research was to determine if there is a direct relationship between the presence of titillating cells in urine sediment and the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. A descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted. Samples were obtained from patients in the Urology service at the Daniel Alcides Carrión National Hospital. A total of 206 samples were analyzed using Sternheimer-Malbin staining. Forty-seven samples tested positive for titillating cells, and 32 of these (100%) were related to acute pyelonephritis. Based on the results of titillating cells and acute pyelonephritis, the Chi-square test was performed to assess the association between these two variables, yielding a p-value < 0.05 and a 95% confidence level, concluding that there is an association between both results.
