PURPOSE: We assessed risk factors for urinary tract infection in children with prenatal hydronephrosis.

PURPOSE: We determined the feasibility of a clinical trial of continuous antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent urinary tract infections in children with prenatal hydronephrosis.

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical features in adult patients with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) who visited the emergency department (ED) and to determine the predictive factors of bacteremia among the initial presenting clinical features.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of urinary tract infection (UTI) among patients with endometrial cancer receiving vaginal brachytherapy alone and brachytherapy plus 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Fournier's gangrene is a rare but highly mortal infectious disease characterised by fulminant necrotising fasciitis involving the genital and perineal regions.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We observed in our department at 3 months two episodes of bacteremia postoperatively to photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - Urinary tract infection is a common admitting diagnosis of hospitalized patients, estimated to account for > 350 000 hospital admissions and $3.4 billion in healthcare costs each year in the United States.

INTRODUCTION: Inhibition of tissue factor, the primary initiator of coagulation in sepsis, attenuates morbidity in primates infused with Escherichia coli.

Introduction: Salmonella is a rare cause of urinary tract infections.

Fournier's gangrene is a condition marked by fulminant polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of the urogenital and perineal areas.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC USA (Press Release) - August 21, 2014 - Young girls with an intense, red, itchy rash on their outer genital organs may be at increased risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to new research from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

OBJECTIVES: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infectious complication after kidney transplantation.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was (1) to determine the reliability of urinalysis (UA) for predicting urinary tract infection (UTI) in febrile children, (2) to determine whether UA findings can predict Escherichia coli versus non-E. coli urinary tract infection, and (3) to determine if empiric antibiotics should be selected based on E. coli versus non-E. coli infection predictions.

BACKGROUND: We examined the ability of a procalcitonin (PCT) protocol to detect vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and renal scarring (RS), evaluated procedural costs and radiation burden, and compared four representative guidelines for children with their first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI).

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the quantitative C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and white blood cell (WBC) count in urinary tract infections (UTI) among hospitalised infants and children in Qazvin, Iran.

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a uropathogen that is mainly involved in nosocomial infection.

BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a well-recognized early complication in renal transplant recipients (RTR) and can have significant bearing on their outcome.

A clinical practice guideline for uncomplicated urinary tract infections in an ambulatory urgent care practice was implemented.

PURPOSE: We hypothesized that establishing percutaneous nephrostomy drainage and treating with renal urine culture specific antibiotics would lead to a decreased sepsis rate in patients at increased risk for infection.
