The epidemiology of symptomatic infections of the urinary tract in children and the factors that may alter the risk of infection are not well known. Numbers of children aged under 15 discharged from hospitals because of symptomatic infections of the urinary tract during 1978-84 were obtained from the database kept by the Finnish National Board of Health. Information on continuous treatment for ...

In a time when conventional antibiotics are becoming increasingly less effective for treatment of infections, the relationship between bacteria and antimicrobial resistance is becoming more and more complicated. This paper provides a current review of studies reported in the literature pertaining to the antibiotherapy of human urinary tract infections (UTI), in a way that helps the reader direc...

Background & Aims: Some Candida species especially Candida albicans are known as flora of human and animals body and coexist in skin, throat and gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. They can primarily be colonized in hospitalized patients and cause diseases. Resent studies have reported increasing rate of candidauria in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of this study was to determine ...

Prophylactic antibiotics for urinary tract infections are no longer routinely recommended. A large number of children must be given prophylaxis to prevent one infection and antibiotic resistance is a major concern when treating community-acquired urinary tract infections. The results of three recent significant studies are examined, with focus on the efficacy of prophylaxis, and recommendations...

Abstract Background There is evidence that bacterial co-infection in respiratory viruses leads to morbidity and mortality. Patients with decreased immunity are prone co-infection. A lack of judicious use antibiotics the spread multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR) have a long-term negative impact. In this study, we attempted observe pattern antibacterial its impact on secondary infection. Methods...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical impact of a prophylactic treatment with sublingual immunostimulation in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) with the use of antibiotics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective cohort study evaluating the medical records of 669 women with rUTIs; 339 had a 6-month prophylaxis with antibiotics and 360 a 3-month prophylaxis with a sublingual ...

Long-term low-dosage prophylaxis may be used in children with recurrent urinary tract infection to prevent reinfection of the urinary tract while the underlying cause of infection persists. Co-trimoxazole in a dose of 2 mg trimethoprin combined with 10 mg sulphamethoxazole per kg body weight daily has proved very effective: only six of 130 children receiving this treatment during a total period...

This study was carried out to determine the association of recurrent urinary tract infections with functional voiding disorders. Sixty eight children with suspected functional voiding disorders were prospectively evaluated clinically and by non-invasive urodynamics. Invasive urodynamics were carried out when indicated. Group I comprised 34 children with symptoms suggestive of functional voiding...

AIM Role of blood C - reactive protein levels in upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection in adult patients (>16 years). MATERIAL AND METHODS Study included 2 groups of patients -Test group (n=58). Control group (n=28).Test group further classified into 2 groups- a). Patients having upper urinary tract infection b). Patients having lower urinary tract infection. Patient...
