PURPOSE To determine if urinary symptoms or urinary tract infections (UTI) were associated with sexually transmitted infections (STI) and which history, clinical, and laboratory findings could distinguish these infections in symptomatic women. METHODS A cross-sectional sample of 296 sexually active females aged 14-22 years attending a hospital-based teen health center or emergency department ...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are considered as one of the most common groups of infections in humans and affecting either the upper (kidneys--pyelonephritis) or the lower (bladder--cystitis) part of the urinary tract (Thomson and Armitage, 2010). The gastrointestinal tract is a reservoir from which uropathogens emerge. Reflecting this, Enterobacteriaceae are the most important cause of UTI in...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common and important clinical problem in childhood and may lead to systemic illness and renal injury in the short term; with repeated infections, renal scarring, hypertension, and end-stage renal dysfunction may develop. The overall prevalence of UTI is estimated at 5% in febrile infants but varies widely by race and gender. The highest prevalence rates of ...

BACKGROUND  Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in ischemic stroke patients are a common occurrence and the frequent focus of quality improvement initiatives. However, many UTIs are community-acquired and the impact of such infections on patient outcomes remains controversial. METHODS  We conducted a retrospective analysis of our Stroke Center Database and electronic medical records to determine ...

U rinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, especially in women, and account for about 17 per 1000 GP consultations.1 Approximately one-third of women who have an initial UTI will have a recurrence, mostly in the absence of any anatomical abnormality of the urinary tract. Recurrences are much less common in children and men and suggest the presence of a predisposing abnormality. Recurrent UTI ...

Bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs in approximately 14% of dogs in their lifetime, with a variable age of onset. Animals with a UTI can present with stranguria, pollakiuria, dysuria and urinary incontinence, although some animals may have no clinical signs. Spayed female dogs are at increased risk for a UTI, which is likely due to anatomic differences as well as possible protective ...

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...
