Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent in the children. Presentation of UTI vary children different ages. In infants, who cannot localize symptoms, can present with a fever whereas older urinary symptoms (dysuria, frequency, incontinence). It is important to establish clear diagnosis order treat and resolve infection antibiotics therapy prevent bacteremia, pyelonephritis, long-tern renal...

BACKGROUND Clinicians should be aware of the diagnostic values of various symptoms, signs and antecedents. This information is particularly important in primary care settings, where sophisticated diagnostic approaches are not always feasible. The aim of the study is to determine the probability that various symptoms, signs, antecedents and tests predict urinary tract infection (UTI) in women. ...

AIM to determine the most frequent causes of urinary tract infection (UTI) amongst children according to gender and age. METHODS 299 children with urinary tract infections were evaluated. All of the cases were clinically evaluated and quantitative and qualitative examinations of the urine (culture with antibiogram) were done. RESULTS There were 54.58% males and 45.15% females in the researc...

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide. Current diagnosis of urinary tract infection chiefly relies on its clinical presentation, urine dipstick tests and urine culture. Small molecules found in bio-fluids related with both infection and recovery would facilitate diagnosis and management of UTI. Mass spectrometry-based fingerprinting of plasma and urine...
