Objective: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common causes of acute fever without a focus in children between 1-36 months old, although obtaining urine for urine analysis is technically difficult in this age group. Therefore, there is a need for clinical and laboratory evidence to predict UTIs. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of urinary tract infections in ...

Bacterial infections are important factors in decompensation, and they increase the mortality rate of patients with liver cirrhosis. The most common infections among these patients are spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, pneumonia, skin infections and urinary tract infections (UTI). This transversal study evaluated the frequency of UTI in non-hospitalized patients with cirrhosis followed in a he...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to cause complicated urinary tract infections (UTI). The improved 7.0-Mb draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa RN21, isolated from a patient with an acute UTI, was determined. It carries three (pro)phage genomes, genes for two restriction/modification systems, and a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) system.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a frequent diagnosis in children who are referred to the urologist. Although most infections will resolve without complication after appropriate treatment, a wide array of potential complicating factors exists, which can make difficult the rapid resolution of a UTI. Clinical scenarios involving these factors require a high index of suspicion and prompt initiatio...

The role of prophylactic antibiotics in children with ANH who are awaiting completion of postnatal investigations is controversial. Children with ANH have been shown to have a significantly higher risk of developing a urinary tract infection (UTI) than controls. While it is believed that prophylactic antibiotics will prevent urinary tract infections in children with VUR, it has yet to be proven...

Reliable administration of anti-seizure drugs, like phenobarbital, is critical to maintain seizure control in cats. Unfortunately administering oral phenobarbital to cats can be difficult, resulting in inconsistent dosing, stress to the cat and injury to the owner. Furthermore, a missed dose of anti-seizure medications can result in a seizure. The purpose of this study is to compare blood level...

Introduction: Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients undergoing kidney transplantation (KT). Aim and Methods: To determine the patterns of infectious complications during the first 6 months post transplantation, we report our single center experience with data from pediatric kidney recipients transplanted between 2006 and 2011. Results: Thirty-two children...

background urinary tract infections (utis) are among the most commonly bacterial infections in clinical practice.almost half of all women experience at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime. this study compared efficacy and safety of 3-day and 7-day ciprofloxacin regimen for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women. patients and methods a total of 76 patient...

In vivo evidence of a connection between urinary tract infections (UTI) and foods is lacking. The virulence of 13 Escherichia coli B2 isolates from healthy animals and fresh meat was investigated in a murine model of ascending UTI. All isolates produced positive bladder cultures (10(2) to 10(7) CFU), and nine isolates produced positive kidney cultures (10(2) to 10(5) CFU).

introduction: urinary tract infection is a prevalent infection disease that many patients referred to the physician for this problem. about 20-40% of women experience symptomatic urinary tract infection for at least one time in their life. early diagnosis and treatment lead to recovery much of the times. regarding the higher prevalence of the urinary tract infection in women, we designed this s...
