BACKGROUND: Women presenting with symptoms of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) are often prescribed antibiotics.
Urosepsis is defined as sepsis caused by a urogenital tract infection.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common after kidney transplantation, with limited data to guide antibiotic prophylaxis.
BACKGROUND: Acute pyelonephritis is a frequent cause of morbidity, with a wide variation in duration of therapy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between urinary tract infection (UTI) and urinary calcium excretion.
INTRODUCTION: The UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) introduced guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and management of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children and adolescents in August 2007.
BACKGROUND: The treatment of complicated urinary tract infection in children is still a matter of debate.
The purpose of this review of clinical guidelines and best practices literature is to suggest prevention options and a treatment approach for intermittent catheter users that will minimize urinary tract infections (UTI).
PURPOSE: To determine whether treatment with nitrofurantoin in women with urinary tract infection (UTI) and renal impairment in primary care is associated with a higher risk of ineffectiveness and/or serious adverse events than in women without renal impairment.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in women, and recurrence is a major clinical problem.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in children, causes them considerable discomfort, as well as distress to parents and has a tendency to recur.
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common, dangerous and interesting.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review recent changes in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pediatric urinary tract infection in the emergency department.
Acute cystitis is one of the most commonly encountered bacterial infections and is responsible for substantial morbidity and high medical costs in the United States and across the globe.
INTRODUCTION: The urine culture is a huge workload in the Microbiology Laboratory and remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of urinary tract infections.
AIM: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections affecting children.
OBJECTIVE: To identify clinical predictors associated with urinary tract infections (UTI) in patients in a referral neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common childhood bacterial infections that may involve renal parenchymal infection (acute pyelonephritis [APN]) followed by late scarring.
OBJECTIVES: While urine sampling is necessary in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection and electrolyte disturbances, the collection of urine in neonates and non-toilet-trained children is often difficult.
Importance: Health care–associated infections (HAIs) account for a large proportion of the harms caused by health care and are associated with high costs. Better evaluation of the costs of these infections could help providers and payers to justify investing in prevention.
