conclusions: the most common infectious episode among spinal cord injury patients was found to be urinary tract ınfection. e. coli was the most common microorganism isolated from urine samples. antibiotic use in the previous 2 weeks or 3 months, hospitalization during the last one-year and previous diagnosis of urinary tract ınfection were the risk factors identified for the development of infe...

BACKGROUND The timing of most recurrences after neonatal urinary tract infection is during the first year of life, with peak incidence 2-6 months after the initial infection. Information on the microbiologic characteristics of recurrent urinary tract infection episodes in relation to the microbiology of the initial episodes is limited. OBJECTIVES To analyze the epidemiologic/microbiological c...

laboratory animals, including rats, play an important role in biomedical research and advances. the human care and management of these animals is an ongoing concern. since, trichosomoides infections in rat colonies can interfere with research protocols it is important to know rate of infection and pathology of the infection in the animals used in experimental studies. 275 rats were eviscerated ...

We describe a case of a urinary tract infection with an unusual pathogen, Photobacterium damsela, in a pregnant female. This pathogen has been described as having a virulent life threatening nature, so a detailed history and prompt treatment is needed.

A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection of the urinary tract. The infection can occur at different points in the urinary tract. An infection in the bladder is also called cystitis or a bladder infection. An infection of one or both kidneys is called pyelonephritis or a kidney infection. The tubes that take urine from each kidney to the bladder are only rarely the site of infection. A...

Introduction: Some postgraduate students reported the presence of a nematode infection, presumably, Trichosomoides crassicauda in the urinary bladder of rats (Rattus norvegicus) from the animal house of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS). We prompted to explore the prevalence of this infection among the rats of animal houses belonging to medical and veterinary research centers in Tehr...

Background and Objective: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is one of the most common urinary tract abnormalities in patients with urinary tract infection. Nowadays noninvasive diagnostic methods are suggested to recognize VUR and its severity. Methods: We measured urinary and serum fibronectin in 51 children with VUR. Results: The mean serum fibronectin was 318.3±112.1 in chi...
