Many of the patients undergoing intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections for refractory neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) present with chronic bacteriuria. In these patients, antibiotic prophylaxis has been widely recommended since bacteriuria might impair treatment efficacy and cause urinary tract infections (UTI) but the evidence is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate if an...

The aim of the study was to detect newborns at risk for developing renal impairment, and to point out the importance of significant asimptomatic bacteriuria in perinatal period and early infancy. Severe urinary tract anomalies are very often accompanied only by asimptomatic bacteriuria in perinatal period. Three urinalysis ware done after delivery. 212 newborns with significant asimptomatic bac...

Asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as the presence of more than 100000 colonies of a single bacterial species per milliliter of urine, cultured from midstream sample in the absence of declared symptoms. 1 Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common in women and increases in prevalence with age and/or sexual activity. 2 The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy varies form 4-7% (range 2-11...

BACKGROUND Bacteriuria is common post-transplant. However, most studies are in adults with a short follow-up. We have assessed the incidence of bacteriuria, predisposing causes and its effect on short and long-term graft function in children. METHODS The notes of 142 children (67% male) who received 168 kidney transplants (138 cadaveric) between 1987 and 1994 were studied. The mean age at tra...

Urinary tract infection is the most frequent infection that occurs in older populations, and most urinary infection is asymptomatic. The terms asymptomatic bacteriuria and asymptomatic urinary tract infection are generally used interchangeably, both defined as a urine specimen that meets microbiologic criteria for urinary tract infection in an individual with no symptoms or signs attributable t...

BACKGROUND When Staphylococcus aureus is isolated in urine, it is thought to usually represent hematogenous spread. Because such spread might have special clinical significance, we evaluated predictors and outcomes of S. aureus bacteriuria among patients with S. aureus bacteremia. METHODS A case-control study was performed at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County among adult inpatients ...

URINARY TRACT infections are now among the commonest bacterial infections. In England and Wales some 6,000 to 7,000 patients die every year from uraemia, about 3,000 of them between the ages of 5 and 55 years (Brit. med. J., 1967), and many of these die as the result of chronic urinary tract infection. Pregnant women are particularly prone to such infection both symptomatic and asymptomatic. Th...

Issues related to asymptomatic bacteriuria and cystitis in other circumstances, and the indications for placement, methods of catheterization, and management and complications of bladder catheters are discussed separately. (See "Approach to the adult with asymptomatic bacteriuria" and "Acute uncomplicated cystitis and pyelonephritis in women" and "Acute uncomplicated cystitis, pyelonephritis, a...

BACKGROUND Dogs with spinal cord injury are at increased risk of developing bacteriuria due to increased residual urine volume. Cranberry extract inhibits binding of E. coli to uroepithelial cells, potentially reducing risk of bacteriuria. HYPOTHESIS Cranberry extract reduces risk of bacteriuria in dogs after acute TL-IVDH. ANIMALS Client-owned dogs with acute onset TL-IVDH causing nonambul...
