conclusions with regards to the continuous changing in causative microorganisms isolated from patients with uti and antibiotic sensitivity patterns, it is recommended that bacterial sensitivity patterns in populations are determined in any region annually. . objectives this study aimed to detect and also compare the frequency and drug resistance pattern of gram negative bacteria isolated from p...

a 36-year-old woman, diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle), showed bulbar symptoms including impaired memory, slurred speech and swallowing difficulty 7 days before admission. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) showed symmetric confluent hyperintensities in the bilateral cerebral white matter on t2 weighted imaging (t2-wi), extended into the genu of the internal capsule and the crus c...

respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants,and also an important factor for hospitalization during the winter months. to determine the prevalence and importance of rsv as a cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection, we carried out a prospective study during 5 months period from november to march 1998 in 6 pediatric hospitals. a n...

background : this research provides an insight into exposure information and particle size distributions of bisphenol a (bpa), a common environmental hormone, at polycarbonate (pc) molding plants in southern taiwan. methods : the inhalable dust sampler as iom and the micro-orifice uniform deposition impactor (moudi) were used for samples collection to evaluate the level and particle size distri...

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 ...

background emerging antibacterial resistance rates and extended-spectrum-β-lactamase producing escherichia coli recovered from urinary tract infections (uti) is an increasing problem in different regions, limiting therapeutic options. objectives the aim of this study was the detection of blatem, blashv and blactx-m genes among escherichia coli strains causing urinary tract infection in children...

background and objectives: e. coli and klebsiella spp. are recognized as most prevalent bacteria causing urinary tract infection (uti), the most common bacterial infection. decreasing of antimicrobial susceptibility in urinary pathogens has made difficulty in treatment of uti. the aim of this study was to determine antibiotic susceptibility of e. coli and klebsiella spp. isolated from urine of ...

radioisotope scanning is very important in evaluation, diagnosis and proper treatment of urinary tract infection (uti) and vesicoureteral reflux (vur) because of high sensitivity of this technique and less radiation dose delivered to the patients. this is a descriptive cross-sectional study to determine the frequency vur in a group of children aged 28 days to 14 years referred to our department...

background and objectives: urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in the human population, and more frequent infection during pregnancy. with notice to this point that most of urinary tract infections during pregnancy are asymptomatic, they could lead to serious complications such as prematurity, low-birth weight, hypertension, and higher fetal mortality rates if...

vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is a relatively common and important entity in children. vur can expose patient to risk of pyelonephritis, permanent renal damage or scar. vur itself has no deleterious effect on kidney parenchyma until the development of infection or increased intravesical pressure.   the diagnosis of vur could lead to appropriate therapy and prevention of long term complications. t...
