The symptoms and signs of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the newborn are non-specific. We carried out a retrospective investigation of 30 neonates in whom urinary tract infections were diagnosed by urinary culture. In our study, UTI was a little more common in boys (56%). Eight babies (27%) had low birth weights (less then 2,500 gm). In addition to fever, gastrointestinal tract symptoms and j...

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common infection during pregnancy and different age groups of children, including the neonatal period. It comprises 1/3 of bacterial infections in newborn infants, with a prevalence of 0.1-1% in term and 4-25% in preterm neonates. UTI occurs more commonly in male neonates (M/F: 2-6/1) for the higher incidence of structural abnormalities (1,2). Urin...

The urinary tract is a common site of infection. The complete mechanisms of urinary tract infection (UTI) are still unknown. In general, the strategies of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli are adherence, motility, iron acquisition, toxin, and evasion of host immunity. Host immune responses play a significant part in defense of UTI. Various antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) including defensins, cat...

BACKGROUND Urinary Tract Infection implies presence of actively multiplying organisms in the urinary tract. Although it is infrequently associated with mortality, it is still a significant cause of morbidity. Early diagnosis is critical to preserve renal function of growing kidney. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to determine the clinical, microbiologic profile and antibiotic sensitivity of such in...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in children, and usually it appears in early childhood. The aim of this study was to find out the incidence and distribution of urinary tract infections in childhood, and to analyze clinical presentation of urinary tract infections in children. In the retrospective study were included 164 children, of both genders, who were trea...

CONTEXT In 30% of children with urinary tract anomalies, urinary tract infection (UTI) can be the first sign. Failure to identify patients at risk can result in damage to the upper urinary tract. OBJECTIVE To provide recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and imaging of children presenting with UTI. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The recommendations were developed after a review of the literat...

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) account for over 1 million visits to the emergency department every year [1]. While most adults with UTI symptoms can be presumptively treated for simple UTI based on symptoms alone, some retrospective studies have shown that lower urinary tract complaints suggestive of UTI may be the only symptoms present in otherwise asymptomatic Sexually Transmitted Diseases (...

Urinary tract infection (UTI), which may be symptomatic or asymptomatic, is one of the most common bacterial infections requiring medical treatment during pregnancy.1 Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) affects 2-10% of pregnant women, depending on the patient population. If left untreated, as many as 30-50% will develop symptomatic UTI, often in the form of pyelonephritis.2 The hormonal and mechani...

We conducted a case-control study to examine the associations between various behavioral risk factors and urinary tract infection among college-aged women. Cases were collected from a University Health Service, and were compared to Health Service controls and to a population-based control group. Sexual intercourse, diaphragm use, and urinating after sexual intercourse were each associated with ...
