Introduction The presence of bacteria in urine is called bacteriuria, which may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. The manipulation of the urinary tract during urodynamic study (UDS), which is an invasive procedure, can result in urinary tract infection (UTI). Studies on the use of prophylactic antibiotics for UDSs are contradictory. Some investigators concluded that they were valuable and others ...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common morbidities in persons with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). They are associated with a significant morbidity and mortality, and they affect the quality of life of the affected patients. Diagnosis and treatment of UTI in this group of patients are challenging. In this review, the current strategies regard...

ated with higher rates of SSI, diarrhea, and CDI, whereas bacteriuria, although associated with health care provider– diagnosed postoperative UTI, was not associated with SSI. Because these associations are derived from small samples in an observational study, they should be interpreted cautiously, recognizing the potential for confounding. Similarly, the finding that treating bacteriuria was a...

Background: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is under-diagnosed condition in pregnancy. Prompt recognition of asymptomatic and its treatment necessary as this can be associated with adverse maternal foetal complications. Screening easy replicable goes a long way promoting safer outcomes. The aim the study was to determine (a) prevalence pregnant women attending antenatal care association age, parity so...

PURPOSE We compared the effects of daily cranberry juice cocktail to those of placebo during pregnancy on asymptomatic bacteriuria and symptomatic urinary tract infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 188 women were randomized to cranberry or placebo in 3 treatment arms of A-cranberry 3 times daily (58), B-cranberry at breakfast then placebo at lunch and dinner (67), and C-placebo 3 time...

Background: Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a frequent pregnancy issue that, if left untreated, increases the risk of premature birth and pyelonephritis. Urine culture basis for diagnosis. In current study, 200 pregnant women are examined severe asymptomatic to gain insight into its frequency in emerging nations, re-evaluate some predisposing factors, test susceptibility specific aetiological agent...

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%)...

BACKGROUND Bacteriuria is associated with significant maternal and foetal risks. However, its prevalence is not known in our community. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to determine the prevalence and predictors of bacteriuria in pregnant women of the Buea Health District (BHD) as well as the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of bacterial isolates. It also sought to determine the diagnosti...
