BACKGROUND: Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a comparatively rare urinary tract infection characterized by air within the bladder wall and lumen and is usually associated with immunosuppression or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections among women worldwide.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most commonly treated infection among nursing home residents.
PURPOSE: Despite success rates favoring ureteroneocystostomy over subureteral injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid for correction of vesicoureteral reflux, the reported incidence of postoperative febrile urinary tract infection favors the latter.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study showed that the female population, mostly postmenopausal women, obtained preventive efficacy against recurrence of UTI when they received cranberry juice once daily. There have been surprisingly few studies about the prevention of recurrence of UTI in the postmenopausal population. Therefore, this study could be invaluable for that population.
BACKGROUND: Guideline recommendations on therapy in urinary tract infections are based on antibiotic resistance rates.
There is scarcity of data regarding significance of candiduria in patients with haematologic malignancies and its association with invasive candidiasis.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequent infectious complication among renal transplant recipients and a frequent cause of bacteremia, sepsis and acute graft failure.
For women with recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI), the contribution of antibiotic use versus patient-related factors in determining the presence of antimicrobial resistance in faecal and urinary Escherichia coli, obtained from the same patient population, has not been assessed yet.
PURPOSE: Nephrostomy tube placement is often necessary to avert acute renal failure in patients with cancer with obstructive uropathy or in patients with ureteral leak.
In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics released a revision of its 1999 clinical practice guideline on urinary tract infections in febrile infants and young children two to 24 months of age.
BACKGROUND: Incomplete bladder emptying (IBE) is defined as having a postvoid residual (PVR) urine volume greater than 100 mL for 2 consecutive days.
BACKGROUND: Recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI) are common in women who are pregnant and may cause serious adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and child including preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age babies.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Glycosaminoglycan hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulphate (CS) protect the urothelium.
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this prospective phase II, randomized, investigator-blinded study (NCT00690378) was to compare the efficacy and safety of ceftazidime-avibactam and imipenem-cilastatin in hospitalized adults with serious complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) due to Gram-negative pathogens.
PURPOSE: This study assessed whether 99mtechnetium dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy used for the assessment of renal sequelae after febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) has any prognostic value for outcome measurement of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) by retrospectively evaluating the correlation between abnormal DMSA scintigraphy results and persistence of VUR in children with febrile UTI.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial illness in children.
OBJECTIVE: Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IHC) has been recognized as a common disorder in childhood, and is a major factor in the formation of renal stones and urinary tract infections (UTIs).
PURPOSE: To assess the frequency of de-escalation in inpatients treated for community-acquired urinary tract infection and the frequency of conditions legitimating not de-escalating therapy.
OBJECTIVES: Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a problem affecting both women and men.
