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.
Urinary tract infection is common in the elderly, and the prevalence increases with age due to pathological changes in the urinary tract and common use of bladder catheter.
Fournier's gangrene is a type of necrotising fasciitis around the scrotum and perineum.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial disease in small children in which treatment with antimicrobials is used.
BACKGROUND: Acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC) is an ideal target of optimization for antibiotic therapy in primary care.
BACKGROUND: Microbiologic culture of urine is an important component in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI).
BACKGROUND: Fournier's gangrene is an acute and potentially lethal necrotizing fasciitis that involves the scrotum and perineum.
Purpose: To examine the effects of antibiotic prophylaxis on post-operative infection rate in patients with negative urine cultures undergoing ureteroscopy (URS).
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among young adults, especially women.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate if xanthine oxidase and myeloperoxidase levels quantitation method may alternate routine culture method, which takes more time in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections.
Whether patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria should be investigated and treated before elective hip and knee replacement is controversial, although it is a widespread practice.
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens are emerging as a cause of urinary tract infections (UTI) worldwide.
Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a poly-microbial necrotizing fasciitis that involves the perineum and/or external genitalia.
PURPOSE: Uncomplicated, recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) in heal-thy, premenopausal women are a common health complaint.
IMPORTANCE: Asymptomatic bacteriuria and symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) in older women are commonly encountered in outpatient practice.
BACKGROUND: The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) is higher in diabetics compared to non-diabetics.
BACKGROUND: Traditional antibiograms guide clinicians in selecting appropriate empiric antimicrobials, but they lack data on syndrome/disease-specific susceptibility, isolate location, polymicrobial infections, and patient risk factors.
Polymicrobial bacterial infections are commonly found in cases of Fournier gangrene (FG), although fungal growth may occur occasionally.
Predisposition to genital infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results from several factors such as glucosuria, adherence of bacteria to the uroepithelium and immune dysfunction.
A urinary tract coinfection, caused by Encephalitozoon cuniculi genotype II and Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotype D, was identified in an HIV-seronegative renal transplant recipient kept under lifelong immunosuppression.
