Recently, water diuresis has been shown to promote chronic Escherichia coli bacteriuria following the injection of bacteria into the bladder lumen of rats with normal urinary systems(l). However, maintenance of bacteriuria for periods up to 56 days has not resulted in renal lesions(l,2). Similar effects of water diuresis on bacteriuria have been observed in mice. In this species, however, sever...

Objective: This study was done to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy o...

Background: Asymptomatic and mild nature of urinary tract infections (UTIs) make them underrated, overlooked but dangerous, because they are prelude to most renal diseases. Like asymptomatic UTIs, some renal diseases are symptomless until they have reached advanced stage, making their victims easily vulnerable to complications before actual diagnosis of renal disease may be made. This study was...

A 4-year screening programme for covert bacteriuria in Dundee primary schoolgirl entrants showed a prevalence of 1 6% and an annual incidence of 0 °9%. Among 109 children with bacteriuria, 70% had sy...

(w ww .m ed kn ow .co m) . The results are shown in the Table. The exponential character of turbidity increase was less sensitive yet a more speciÞ c screening criterion, thus it is suitable for preliminary conÞ rmation of signiÞ cant bacteriuria. The non-speciÞ ed turbidity increase estimation2 has a high negative predictive value and is suitable (just like the biochemical screening)1,3 for pr...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequently encountered in clinical practice and most commonly caused by Escherichia coli and other Gram-negative uropathogens. We tested RapidBac, a rapid immunoassay for bacteriuria developed by Silver Lake Research Corporation (SLRC), compared with standard bacterial culture using 966 clean-catch urine specimens submitted to a clinical microbiology laborato...

PURPOSE Asymptomatic bacteriuria is a very common complication after kidney transplantation and the need for antibiotic therapy is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of antibiotic therapy on the clinical course of asymptomatic bacteriuria in renal transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, 88 kidney transplant recipients with asymptomatic b...

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and clinical significance of bacteriuria in patients who underwent sigmoid neobladder substitution after radical cystectomy. Patients and Methods: The study included 149 patients with invasive bladder carcinoma who underwent radical cystectomy and orthotopic sigmoid bladder substitution. Diagnosis of bacteriuria was made by freshly collected midstream urine...
