Urinary tract infections and genitourinary abnormalities in Cameroonian men

Genitourinary Abnormalities in Children with Urinary Tract Infections

59 Abstract: Urinary–tract infections (UTI) are common infectious diseases in childhood. The presence of UTI may be an indicator of a serious genitourinary (GU) abnormality that requires medical intervention. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of children discharged with a diagnosis of UTI from the Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, Texas, between July 1, 1991 and June 30, 1994. The purpos...

Urinary Tract Infections After Combat-related Genitourinary Trauma

Radiological abnormalities in infants with urinary tract infections.

An intravenous urogram and micturating cystourethrogram were carried out in 100 infants presenting with documented urinary tract infections. Ninety three cases were identified by suprapubic aspiration and 7 by culture of two voided urine samples containing greater than 100 X 10(6) organisms per litre. The urinary tract abnormalities were analysed in respect of their clinical importance, patient...

Involvement of Gardnerella vaginalis in urinary tract infections in men.

Fifteen male patients from whose urine samples Gardnerella vaginalis was isolated (clinical incidence of 0.1%) were evaluated for clinical signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection and modality of acquisition of the organism. Ten of 15 (67%) patients were symptomatic or had signs of inflammation as manifested by an increased number of urinary neutrophils. One patient had two bouts of infect...

Anaerobes in genitourinary infections in men.

Urethral and sub-preputial swabs from 150 men were examined. There was a strong association between the isolation of anaerobic bacteria, particularly Bacteroides spp, and a clinical diagnosis of balanoposthitis, non-specific urethritis (NSU), or both. Aerobic bacteria formed the predominant flora in 28 healthy controls whereas anaerobes were predominant in specimens from 79 patients with balano...
