urinary tract infection (uti) is a common bacterial illness in children. knowledge of the antimicrobial resistance patterns of common uropathogens in children according to local epidemiology is essential for providing clinically appropriate, cost effective therapy for uti. the aim of this study was to determine the distribution of urinary tract infections in a referral hospital, children’s medi...

BACKGROUND HTLV-I infected patients often complain of urinary symptomatology. Epidemiological studies have suggested that these individuals have a higher prevalence and incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) than seronegative controls. However, the diagnosis of UTI in these studies relied only on patient information and did not require confirmation by urine culture. The purpose of this stud...

OBJECTIVE Urinary tract is one of the most common sources of infection in children under the age of two years. Many known and unknown risk factors predispose to this important disease in children. This study was conducted to determine whether using a specific type of diaper plays a role in urinary tract infection (UTI) in girls under the age of 2 years. METHODS This case control study was per...

BACKGROUND: Escherichia coli is the major pathogen in many extraintestinal Gram-negative bacillus infections. Both E. coli virulence characteristics and host factors contribute to the development of E. coli bacteremia in urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of this study was to examine the bacterial virulence characteristics in E. coli infections arising from the urinary tract. METHODS: A tot...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to review bacterial isolates from cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern for the years 2005-2007 in St Kitts. It is hoped that the study will be of use in the treatment of cases of UTI in St Kitts. METHODS The laboratory records at St Francis Hospital, Basseterre, St Kitts, for bacterial isolates from cases ...

The human genitourinary tract is a common anatomical niche for polymicrobial infection and a leading site for the development of bacteremia and sepsis. Most uncomplicated, community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) are caused by Escherichia coli, while another bacterium, Proteus mirabilis, is more often associated with complicated UTI. Here, we report that uropathogenic E. coli and P. mi...

OBJECTIVES (1) To determine frequency of urinary tract infection among pyuric diabetic patients. (2) To determine sterile pyuria frequency among pyuric diabetic patients. (3) To determine factors predisposing to urinary tract infection. METHODS This is a non randomized, prospective observational study done in tertiary care set up of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. Data collection ...

Introduction: Although effectiveness of cranberry for preventing urinary tract infection (UTI) has been reported in Iranian traditional medicine and recent studies there is still controversy in this regard. Therefore, the present study was designed with a meta-analytic approach aiming to evaluate the effect of prophylaxis prescription of cranberry in prevention of UTI in children.Methods: In th...

Background: One of the lithotripsy complications is urinary tract infection (UTI) and sepsis after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The aim was to study the prophylactic effect of antibiotics on UTI after ESWL. Methods: This randomized double-blind clinical trial was carried out on 600 patients admitted to Babol Clinic hospital in 2014-2015. Patients were randomly divided into tre...

conclusions etec and eaggec were the most detected e. coli among stool and uti samples, emphasizing the need to dedicate more health care attention to this group. in addition, our phylogenetic study may be helpful in figuring out the infection origin and for epidemiological studies. nonetheless, more research studies with larger sample sizes are suggested for confirming our results. results ove...
