introduction and aim: diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infection in children must be done before renal damage. so, in many countries the screening programs are done in the schools. there are a few reports on the prevalence of this disease among children in different parts of iran. this study aims to investigate the prevalence of this infection in the seven years old children of birjand ...

urine specimens collected from in-patients and out-patients in urmia imam hospital, northwest iran, were cultured on blood agar and eosin methylene blue agar. isolated bacteria were identified according to standard microbiological tests and then subjected to sensitivity testing according to routine method of disk agar diffusion technique. out of 8044 and 10425 urine specimens, 8.7% and 11.9% we...

background uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) is a causative agent of most of urinary tract infections (utis), which expresses a multitude of virulence factors. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate virulence associated characteristics characteristics in upec isolates derived from urine specimens, and to investigate the distribution of the pathogenicity islands virulence marker...

conclusions the simultaneous detection of e. faecalis in a patient’s gastrointestinal and urine tracts can indicate the presence of uropathogenic enterococcus. further study is essential to identify virulence factors involved in the colonization of these isolates in the urinary tract. background urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common bacterial infections in outpatient settings....

background: urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most  common infections seen in all age and both sex groups which frequently occur among adolescent and young women. utis are the second most common cause of emergency department attendance for adolescents. considering the importance of promoting preventive behaviors of uti, we aimed to evaluate the effect of peer education based on health...

urinary tract infection is a common pediatric problem and vesicoureteral reflux is its most common complication. detection of this reflux has classically been achieved by voiding cystouretrography (vcug). ultrasonography for evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux is shown to be feasible but is not widely accepted. our aim was to assess the value of routine sonography in detecting vesicoureteral re...

objective this study was conducted to determine the frequency of urinary tract infection(uti) among children with febrile convulsion (fc). materials & methods we analyzed the hospital records of 137 children who had been admitted to thepediatric ward from march 2004 to february 2007 because of fc. informationsuch as age, sex, developmental status, type of fc, family history of seizure,urine sam...

conclusions females are more susceptible to uti than males and the most effective drug (sensitive against isolated e. coli) is amikacin. therefore, culture and antimicrobial drug sensitivity testing are essential procedures for proper management of uti in tribal population. patients and methods a total number of 4,416 urine samples of clinically suspected uti attending outpatient department and...

objectives we investigated the potential relationships between biofilm formation and prevalence of virulence genes (asa1, esp, cyla, and gele/spre), and antimicrobial resistance genes (aac (6’)/aph (2”) in enterococcus faecalis isolated from patients with urinary tract infection. patients and methods in this survey 95 e. faecalis isolates from patients with urinary tract infections staying at s...
