BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections in renal transplant recipients and are considered a potential cause of bacteremia, sepsis, and affects graft outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of Urine Nitrite (NIT) and Leukocyte Esterase (LE) test compared with urine culture for diagnosis of UTI.
BACKGROUND: The substantial prevalence of bacterial lower urinary tract infections (LUTIs) in out-of-hours (OOH) primary care is a reason for frequent prescription of antibiotics.
INTRODUCTION: Since initial antibiotic treatment in patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) is empiric, is very important to know the local epidemiology to make the correct therapeutical decisions.
We sought to determine the frequency, risk factors, and clinical impact of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) in kidney transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequently complicated with bacteremia.
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to investigate the existence of a relationship between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI).
Objective: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are assumed to predispose children to renal damage.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in children.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to present our clinical experience with FG treatment.
INTRODUCTION: The urinary tract infections, after respiratory infections, are the most common in the community.
AIM: We aimed to examine whether there is any association between serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D3] and urinary tract infection (UTI) among children.
OBJECTIVE: Adverse early life events are key factors for development of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs).
Ganglioneuromas are rare benign tumors arising from neural crest cells of the autonomic nervous system.
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a disease involving necrosis of perineum and external genitalia; in 95% of cases it is possible to diagnose the Fournier's gangrene just by physical examination.
AIM: This study evaluated whether sex, clinical variables, laboratory variables or ultrasonography predicted the presence of vesicoureteric reflux during the first episode of urinary tract infection in paediatric patients.
OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the third most common infection experienced by humans after respiratory and gastro-intestinal infections.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) were reported frequently with dalfampridine extended-release (dalfampridine-ER) 10 mg relative to placebo in previous multiple sclerosis (MS) studies.
AIM: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a burden of health care globally.
Fournier's gangrene (FG) requires prompt recognition and management.
