BACKGROUND: The 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines state that renal and bladder ultrasound (RBUS) should be performed after initial febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) in a young child, with voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) performed only if RBUS shows abnormalities.

STUDY DESIGN: A one-year epidemiological survey.

AIM: To determine the significance of enterostomy in the emergency management of Fournier gangrene.

OBJECTIVE: We studied antibiotic resistance in pediatric UTIs and we evaluated the impact of antibiotic exposure in the previous 12 months, very little French data being available for this population.

OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia is associated with increased infections across the lifespan.

Epidemiologic studies indicate that millions of people suffer from recurrent cystitis, a pathology requiring antibiotic prophylaxis and entailing high social costs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate adherence to uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) guidelines and UTI diagnostic accuracy in an emergency department (ED) setting before and after implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship intervention.

BACKGROUND: Complicated urinary tract infections (c-UTIs) are among the most common nosocomial infections and a substantial part of the antimicrobial agents used in hospitals is for the treatment of c-UTIs.

According to the literature, febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common severe bacterial infections occurring in childhood, with potential serious long-term consequences.

Fournier gangrene (FG) is a rare polymicrobial infection of perineum that carries a high mortality rate.

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, especially in women.

This article presents an overview of non-catheter-associated complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) from a urologic point of view.

Some populations have unique considerations relevant to complicated urinary tract infection.

INTRODUCTION: We have seen an increased risk of infectious complications following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-PB).

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a commonly diagnosed infection in older adults.

When the terms funguria or fungal urinary tract infection are used, most physicians are referring to candiduria and urinary tract infections due to Candida species.

Antibiotic resistance worsens clinical outcomes and, in some cases, significantly impacts the clinical management of urinary tract infections in the outpatient setting.

Emergency physicians encounter urinary tract infections (UTIs) in a wide spectrum of disease severity and patient populations.

Proteus mirabilis forms extensive crystalline biofilms on urethral catheters that occlude urine flow and frequently complicate the management of long-term-catheterized patients.

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is an infrequent but highly lethal infection.
