background : urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in women; due to the changes occur in the body during pregnancy, it is more likely to develop urinary tract infection and it has a great deal of importance because of its potential complications on mother and the fetus. this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about urinary tract infections ...

background and objectives: urinary tract infections (utis) are of the most common bacterial diseases worldwide. we investigate the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of escherichia coli (e. coli) strains isolated from pediatric patients with community acquired urinary tract infection (uti) to find a clinical guidance for choosing a right empirical antibiotic in these patients. materials and met...

background renal scintigraphy with technetium 99m labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mtc-dmsa) is a traditional imaging technique commonly used to detect renal scar in patients with probable vesicoureteral reflux (vur) and/or urinary tract infection (utis). we determined whether normal results of dmsa renal scan obviate the need for voiding cystourethrography (vcug) in evaluating children with ...

conclusions this is the first report on the prevalence of iron acquisition genes among a. baumannii isolates collected from patients with urinary tract infections. the high prevalence of iron acquisition genes in a. baumannii isolates suggests that these virulence factors play an important role in the development of urinary tract infections. results a high prevalence of genes encoding iron acqu...

conclusion our findings showed an increased frequency of vur in patients with bjhms. we suggest that infants and children with bjhms should be screened for vur. results vur was observed in 60% of patients with bjhms. however, sonography was normal in 66.7% of patients. the most common grading of reflux was grade ii of vur (37.5%). seventy percent of patients with bjhms and neurogenic bladder ha...

The urinary tract exits to a body surface area that is densely populated by a wide range of microbes. Yet, under most normal circumstances, it is typically considered sterile, i.e., devoid of microbes, a stark contrast to the gastrointestinal and upper respiratory tracts where many commensal and pathogenic microbes call home. Not surprisingly, infection of the urinary tract over a healthy perso...

Background: Urinary tract infections are among the most common diseases in different communities and occur in all age groups. Failure to diagnose the disease correctly and promptly can cause complications such as damage to the urinary tract and kidney parenchyma, increased blood pressure, uremia. Also, in pregnant female patients It may lead to premature birth and even abortion. Therefore, corr...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection is the most common infectious complication following renal transplantation and its frequency is insufficiently studied in Portugal. The aim of this study was to characterize the incidence of urinary tract infections and recurrent urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort observational stud...
