antimicrobial resistance pattern in urinary tract infections in children on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
conclusion a comparison of these data with those of other countries showed that there was considerable geographic variation in bacterial patterns of sensitivity and resistance properties. therefore, the selection of antibiotics for empiric therapy especially in children with terminal renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd) treatment should be based on the knowledge of the local conditions. results the most prevalent urinary pathogen was escherichia coli from 27 cases (75%). in general, the lowest resistance rate of microorganisms was against amikacin (3.7%) and the highest resistance rate was against amoxicillin (70.4%). patients and methods in this study, bacterial isolates were evaluated from urine samples collected from pediatric patients (6 months to 17 years) on capd with acute utis in tehran from march 2006 through september 2006. sensitivity was measured by disc diffusion method using nccls protocol. background growing antibiotic resistance demands the constant reassessment of antimicrobial efficacy, particularly in countries with wide antibiotic abuse. knowledge of resistance trends is particularly important when prescribing antibiotics empirically, as is usually the case for urinary tract infections (utis) especially in children with terminal renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd) treatment. the aim of this study was to analyze the resistance of bacterial isolates to commonly used antibiotics in such patients.

Erythropoietin resistance in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Anemia is one of the most serious complications in patients on dialysis. Erythropoietin improves the anemia. However, erythropoietin resistance is sometimes encountered from causes such as functional iron deficiency, secondary hyperparathyroidism, blood loss, or interaction with other drugs. To clarify the interaction between erythropoietin and the renin-angiotensin system, we studied the maint...

Background & Objectives: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent bacterial infection in children. Awareness of the antibiotic resistance of common bacteria causing UTI in each area has a large impact on infection improvement. The objective of this study is to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria causing UTI in two to 15 years old children referring to Fasa Vali-e-A...

Ten children in end-stage renal failure were treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This represents a total of 3.4 patient years. Biochemical control was good, and parent and patient acceptability high. Peritonitis was the chief complication, but after the institution of a specific CAPD education and training programme the incidence declined 10-fold. We regard CAPD as an e...
