Platelet Indices as Useful Indicators of Urinary Tract Infection
Background: The changes of platelet parameters can be a useful index for rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI), since platelet changes are routinely determined through complete blood count (CBC) test. The correlation between platelet indices, included number (PLTs), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW), which are the indicators of production and function o...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of Proteus mirabilis infections of the catheterized urinary tract.
Proteus mirabilis compromises the care of many patients undergoing long-term indwelling bladder catheterization. It forms crystalline bacterial biofilms in catheters which block the flow of urine, causing either incontinence due to leakage or painful distention of the bladder due to urinary retention. If it is not dealt with, catheter blockage can lead to pyelonephritis and septicemia. We have ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the IRIS 939 UDx flow microscope as a screening system for urinary tract infection.
AIMS To evaluate the IRIS flow microscope for the examination of urine specimens and to compare its performance with that of manual methods; in addition, to assess its usefulness as a screening system for the detection of significant bacteriuria in a routine clinical laboratory. METHODS The IRIS system was compared with manual quantitative microscopy for the detection of formed elements and w...
متن کاملAdherence to uroepithelial cells of Providencia stuartii isolated from the catheterized urinary tract.
The long-term catheterized urinary tract appears to offer a niche for Providencia stuartii, otherwise an unusual clinical isolate. P. stuartii, the most frequent and persistent isolate from the urine of 51 long-term catheterized patients, was recovered from 761 of 1230 (62%) weekly urine specimens. To test the hypothesis that prevalence of this species may be due to adherence properties of the ...
متن کاملCatheter-associated urinary tract infection is rarely symptomatic: a prospective study of 1,497 catheterized patients.
