discussion: the present case demonstrates that the uropathogenic e. hermanii clone can cause destruction of the kidneys. during asymptomatic bacteriuria or cystitis, the bacteria remain in the urinary tract. even when pyelonephritis develops, inflammatory response of the host is still restricted to the urinary tract. these signs mean that uropathogenic e. hermanii may be not very virulent. intr...

background and purpose: the presence of candida yeasts in urine, known as candiduria, is an indicator of infection or colonization of the urinary tract by candida species. this condition in diabetic patients can be hazardous due to diminished immune system response. the objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of candiduria in diabetic patients and to identify its causative agen...

conclusions timely detection and appropriate antibiotic therapy of afbn are essential to prevent renal abscess formation. a possible diagnosis of afbn needs to be considered in all patients being treated for febrile uti. detection and surgical correction of the underlying malformation are necessary to prevent further recurrences. case presentation here we describe a case of a 4-year-old boy adm...

background : the pathologies classified as urinary tract infections (uti) can have a deleterious effect on patients who have undergone a renal transplantation.  often recurrent utis will occur, leading to high morbidity, failure of the grafting process overall and even death.  the study presented here seeks to expand the knowledge of recurrent utis in the context of renal transplantation, what ...

background putative virulence factors are responsible for the pathogenicity of utis caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa (p. aeruginosa). resistance of p. aeruginosa to commonly used antibiotics is caused by the extreme overprescription of those antibiotics. objectives the goal of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of virulence factors and the antibiotic resistance patterns of p. a...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease in children. In older children the clinical symptoms, diagnostic approach and treatment are similar to adults, whereas infants and neonates present with less specific symptoms. Children post renal transplantation/on immunosuppressive medication may also present with atypical symptoms. Therefore in this chapter we will focus on acute febrile urin...

background: urinary tract infection is one of the commonest infections which affect humans. half of all women have a uti in their lifetime and one fourth have recurrent infections. health behaviours can help patients to prevent urinary tract infection recurrence and changing beliefs is necessary for health behaviour change. the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of education based o...

background: escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most frequent infecting organism in acute infection. so, knowledge about the frequency and distribution of urinary tract infection (uti) is important to improve infection control measures. the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infection (uti) in patients and determination of the antibiotic s...

background : urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in women; due to the changes occur in the body during pregnancy, it is more likely to develop urinary tract infection and it has a great deal of importance because of its potential complications on mother and the fetus. this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about urinary tract infections ...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most commonly diagnosed bacterial infections of childhood. Although frequently encountered and well researched, diagnosis and management of UTI continue to be a controversial issue with many challenges for the clinician. Prevalence studies have shown that UTI may often be missed on history and physical examination, and the decision to screen for UTI mu...
