PURPOSE: Previous studies examining the management of urinary tract infections (UTI) showed marked variability in the economical burden of care, with a tenfold increase in costs when patients require admission to the hospital.
The continuing spread of resistant Gram-negative bacteria is a therapeutic challenge and prudent use of antimicrobials is therefore essential.
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis with involvement of the prostate is relatively uncommon and is rarely diagnosed in needle core biopsies.
One of the hallmarks of urinary tract infection, a serious global disease, is its tendency to recur.
Background: Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common problem among women.
OBJECTIVE: To document the trends of sensitivity and to find whether it is necessary to change antibiotics in selected patients according to the sensitivity test results in our clinical practice.
BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens have been increasingly identified in community-onset urinary tract infection (UTI).
Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is an upper urinary tract infection characterized by inflammation of the renal parenchyma and renal pelvis typically due to a bacterial infection ascending from the bladder.
BACKGROUND: The clinical aspects of virulence genes of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are not fully understood.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common emergency department (ED) complaint and self-diagnosis may be possible.
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the impact of the updated American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for the evaluation of children presenting with initial febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) on the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children with normal renal sonograms.
It has been suggested that mortality is higher in patients admitted to hospitals during the weekend.
PURPOSE: Hypospadias repair is commonly performed by pediatric urologists with established complications.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - With respect to antibiotic resistance surveillance systems, several issues need to be considered. For urinary tract infections (UTIs), most guidelines are based on studies that have been performed among women, but with the obvious genito-urinary differences, it is questionable whether these results can be extrapolated to men.
Community-acquired febrile urinary tract infections (UTI) in adult has received little attention in the literature.
Reliance on evidence-based medicine requires high methodological standards from guideline developers.
PURPOSE: Whereas a diagnosis of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in clinical practice comprises a battery of several diagnostic tests, these tests are often studied separately (in isolation from other test results).
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infection is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
We report one infant, who in the course of therapy of bacterial urinary tract infection developed fungal UTI and acute kidney injury.
PURPOSE: Although unilateral ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux is highly successful, new contralateral reflux will develop postoperatively in some patients.
