OBJECTIVES: To report the prevalence of bacteremia by age in a sample of infants < 1 year of age with urinary tract infections (UTIs), to compare characteristics of infants with UTIs with and without bacteremia, and to describe treatment courses and 30-day outcomes in infants with UTIs with and without bacteremia.
Settlement of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in the bladder is often noted in whole-body PET/CT images, but this phenomenon never received any careful attention and the mechanism was unclear.
There are very limited data on the postmarketing outcome comparison of different guideline antibiotic regimens for patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs).
A 70-year-old man with a history of tongue cancer presented with Fournier's gangrene caused by Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) is a serious clinical problem, yet effective therapeutic options are limited, especially against multidrug-resistant uropathogens.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common nosocomial infections in kidney transplant recipients, with limited evidence to guide antibiotic prophylaxis at urinary catheter removal.
The prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) stresses the need for automatic surveillance in order to follow the effect of preventive measures.
Resident bacterial communities (microbiota) and host antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are both essential components of normal host innate immune responses that limit infection and pathogen induced inflammation.
Fournier's gangrene is a rare, necrotizing fasciitis of the genitals and perineum caused by a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.
Objective: The 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines address imaging after initial febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) in infants >2 months of age.
In the present study we demonstrated a novel protective role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 flagellin 'b' in prevention of urinary tract infection (UTI).
PURPOSE: We evaluated whether stress levels in children and parents during radiological evaluation after febrile urinary tract infection are really lower using the top-down approach, where 99mtechnetium dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy is used initially, than the bottom-up approach, where voiding cystourethrography is initially performed and repeated examinations are easier for all.
OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common problem in the elderly population.
BACKGROUND: Vulvovaginitis has a known association with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in girls.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most frequent bacterial infection affecting women and account for about 15% of antibiotics prescribed in primary care.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review the recent advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to adults presenting with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) in the emergency department (ED).
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in infants and children, and Escherichia coli is the leading pathogen.
Fournier's gangrene is a rare but rapidly progressive necrotizing infection that results from the synergistic action of multiple aerobic and anaerobic organisms colonized on the skin and in the anogenital area.
INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infections due to Candida species are mostly encountered in hospital environment.
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an emerging pathogen with a devastating impact on organ transplant recipients (OTRs).
