Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur more frequently in diabetic patients. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence, risk factors and microorganisms of UTIs in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients and methods A total of 3,652 Chinese inpatients with T2D were reviewed and data on their clinical characteristics, symptoms of UTIs, random blood glucose, ...

The incidence of antibody-coated bacteria (ACB) in the urinary sediments as an indication of the site of urinary tract infections (UTI) was investigated in 103 adult subjects with persistent bacteriuria by means of a direct immunofluorescence technique.ACB were found in 49 of 58 (84.5%) subjects with long-standing upper urinary tract obstruction and in 5 of 45 (11.1%) with lower UTI; this diffe...

BACKGROUND Although several studies suggest that genetic factors are associated with human UTI susceptibility, the role of DNA variation in regulating early in vivo urine inflammatory responses has not been fully examined. We examined whether candidate gene polymorphisms were associated with altered urine inflammatory profiles in asymptomatic women with or without bacteriuria. METHODOLOGY We ...

Recent findings The reported prevalence of bacteriuria is higher in some developing countries than generally reported for developed countries, but reasons for this remain unclear. Clinical studies of young women, renal transplant patients, and patients undergoing minor nontraumatic urologic procedures confirm that treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria for these populations is not beneficial, an...

Significant bacteriuria was found in 19% of 87 women with primary biliary cirrhosis, whereas in 89 women with other types of chronic liver disease bacteriuria was present in only 7%. In 74 women with rheumatoid arthritis 8% were bacteriuric. Midstream urine specimens obtained from 144 consecutive women with primary biliary cirrhosis attending hospital over a two year period showed that 50 (35%)...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common occurrence and are a unique pathology as they have a variable presentation [1]. The principal presentations include asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), acute cystitis, and pyelonephritis [2]. The focus of this review was on asymptomatic bacteriuria. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as the presence of bacteria in urine without any symptoms of a urinary ...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are more common and tend to have a more complicated course in patients with diabetes mellitus than in the general population. The mechanisms that potentially contribute to the increased prevalence of both asymptomatic and symptomatic bacteriuria in these patients are defects in the local urinary cytokine secretions and an increased adherence of the microorganisms...

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most frequent infectious diseases of small animals. Although antimicrobial therapy is recommended for treating bacterial UTIs, current consensus that treatment may not be necessary asymptomatic The aim this study was to evaluate diagnostic ability urinalysis detect bacteriuria and compare it with urine culture (gold standard method) assess ...

A study of placebo treatment of acute symptomatic urinary tract infection in non-pregnant women showed that about 80%4 obtained sterile urine spontaneously within 5 months. About one-half of these had recurrent infection within a year. Antimicrobials produced a high immediate cure rate, but only 45°o maintained sterile urine for 2 years. The recurrence rate was highest during the first 2 months...
