PURPOSE:We compared the quality and pattern of use of antibiotics to treat urinary tract infection (UTI) between institutionalized and home-dwelling elderly.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - A patient undergoing urinary catheterization has a 3 to 7% risk each day of developing a urinary tract infection (UTI). Catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs) are the most common type of nosocomial UTIs and are often caused by multidrug resistant pathogens.
Stevens-Johnson syndrome frequently affects the genitalia.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent one of the most commonly acquired diseases among the general population as well as hospital in-patients, yet remain difficult to effectively and consistently treat.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is frequent among kidney transplant patients during the first year post transplantation.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common during pregnancy and can be associated with negative outcomes for both the mother and fetus.
PURPOSE: Proanthocyanidins found in cranberry have been reported to have in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity.
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - The understanding off asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) pathophysiology and natural history has been improved over the years. Initially, it was assumed to be a strong relationship between bacteriuria and pyelonephritis due to the fact that ABU has been found with particular frequency in populations more likely to develop pyelonephritis.[1] However, subsequent well-performed, randomized clinical studies have consistently documented that the treatment of bacteriuria in asymptomatic patients does not provide any benefit for the patient.[2]
The objective of this observational study was to quantify the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTI) among diabetes patients and compare this risk to patients without diabetes.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring using the FoleyManometer (Holtech Medical, Charlottenlund, Denmark) increases the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI).
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, with nearly half of all women experiencing at least one UTI in their lifetime.
PURPOSE: So far, few data is available on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in urology.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Sysmex UF-1000i(®) system as a urine screening method for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection, and epithelial cells as a predictive value of contamination in woman of childbearing age.
OBJECTIVE: To determine resistance to antibiotics of Escherichia coli in uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) in female college students.
The urinary tract is the most common site of bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND: Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in clinical practice, but little is known about the association between febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) and hyponatremia or its significance to clinical outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common reason for pediatric hospitalizations.
Keratinizing squamous metaplasia of the bladder is rare and is usually associated with urinary tract infections and chronic irritation.
Values for equivalent health states can vary substantially depending on the measure used and method of valuation; this has a direct impact on the results of economic analyses.
The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of integrons in Escherichia coli, which cause urinary tract infections, and to define the association between integrons and antimicrobial susceptibility.
