Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) account for over 1 million visits to the emergency department every year [1]. While most adults with UTI symptoms can be presumptively treated for simple UTI based on symptoms alone, some retrospective studies have shown that lower urinary tract complaints suggestive of UTI may be the only symptoms present in otherwise asymptomatic Sexually Transmitted Diseases (...

Aerococcus viridans is a catalase-negative gram-positive bacterium rarely found as human pathogen. Some cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) have been described in immunocompromised adults. In this article we describe a UTI case caused by this agent in a child with severe obstructive uropathy, clinically presented with secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism (SPHA). Although A. viridans is rarely a...

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most commonly diagnosed bacterial infections of child‐ hood, and have a significant healthcare impact. Renal parenchymal infection and scarring are well-established complications of UTI in children and can lead to renal insufficiency, hy‐ pertension and renal failure. Although frequently encountered and well researched, diagno‐ sis and management of UTI cont...

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. ...

Key words: urinary tract infection; complicating urin-even when renal involvement is present. Nevertheless it is useful to distinguish between upper and lower ary tract infection; recurrent urinary tract infection; radiological imaging; treatment; prevention UTI because treatment differs. The question arises whether localization studies should be performed or whether it is sufficient to monitor...

The concomitant occurrence of urinary tract infection (UTI) and coeliac disease was studied retrospectively among children with coeliac disease. There was a significantly higher risk of first time UTI in children with coeliac disease than in an unselected population of children. In the majority of cases UTI was associated with untreated, active coeliac disease.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in children. Recurrent UTI causes serious complications such as renal scarring, proteinuria and hypertension. Recent studies have  reported  that hypercalciuria  may  be considered  a  risk  factor  for  recurrent  UTI. Materials and Methods: In this study 110 children 2months to 13years o...
