background respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) can cause acute respiratory infection (ari) in infants and young children. objectives this study was conducted to determine the incidence of rsv infection and its subgroups among children with ari. materials and methods a total of 100 throat samples were collected from hospitalized children with ari in different hospitals across the khuzestan provinc...

background: selective antibody deficiency with normal immunoglobulins (sadni) may be identified as part of distinct primary or secondary immunodeficiency disorders. the clinical manifestations include recurrent, often severe or prolonged, upper or lower respiratory tract infections. objectives: to evaluate sadni in patients with recurrent sinopulmonary infections and its relation to igg subclas...

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...

conclusions though antibiotics are rarely indicated, they are often still used to treat rtis. the resulting increase in bacterial resistance, the lack of treatment efficacy, and drug-related side effects all underscore the need for alternative strategies to manage recurrent rtis. this article uses a typical pediatric case study to review central issues in the diagnosis and management of recurre...

conclusions with regards to the continuous changing in causative microorganisms isolated from patients with uti and antibiotic sensitivity patterns, it is recommended that bacterial sensitivity patterns in populations are determined in any region annually. . objectives this study aimed to detect and also compare the frequency and drug resistance pattern of gram negative bacteria isolated from p...

respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants,and also an important factor for hospitalization during the winter months. to determine the prevalence and importance of rsv as a cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection, we carried out a prospective study during 5 months period from november to march 1998 in 6 pediatric hospitals. a n...

conclusion a comparison of these data with those of other countries showed that there was considerable geographic variation in bacterial patterns of sensitivity and resistance properties. therefore, the selection of antibiotics for empiric therapy especially in children with terminal renal failure on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd) treatment should be based on the knowledge of ...

background and objectives: e. coli and klebsiella spp. are recognized as most prevalent bacteria causing urinary tract infection (uti), the most common bacterial infection. decreasing of antimicrobial susceptibility in urinary pathogens has made difficulty in treatment of uti. the aim of this study was to determine antibiotic susceptibility of e. coli and klebsiella spp. isolated from urine of ...
