A total of 124 children aged 0.2 to 6 years were enrolled in a study of first time febrile urinary tract infection. The patient population was stratified in groups according to the stringency of criteria for fever and bacteriuria and the presence of concomitant disease. The major group of 88
Urinary tract infection continues to be a common problem among spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals despite the strides that have been made during the last decade in the care of the neurogenic bladder. A critical analysis of the system of drainage compared with the occurrence of bacteriuria with
A periodic fever, due to inherited inflammatory disorders, can be misdiagnosed as a common infection, when a possible pathogen is detected from a patient. TLR4 SNPs that are responsible for asymptomatic bacteriuria might disturb the pathophysiology of familial Mediterranean fever without
The present study was carried out to determine the relationship between fever (> or = 38 degrees C) after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and the history of bacteriuria before ESWL. The subjects of this study comprised 958 patients. Significant bacteriuria before ESWL was found in 75
Transurethral prostatectomy was performed in 71 patients, whose body temperature and leukocyte count were recorded for four days. Twenty-four of the patients had a pre- or postoperative urinary tract infection. The fever index scores (temperature X hours) of both the infected and noninfected
Little is known about the significance of pyuria in spinal cord injury patients with indwelling urethral catheters (IUCs). The hospital courses of 32 such patients admitted to a rehabilitation hospital from January 1986 to December 1987 were reviewed to determine the incidence of unexplained febrile
Results of urinalysis and culture of 2181 urine specimens obtained by catheter from febrile children aged less than 24 months were analyzed to determine the following: (1) an optimal cutoff point in considering a bacterial colony count clinically "significant," (2) the accuracy of leukocyte esterase
Numbers of nursing home beds now exceed hospital beds in the United States and are usually occupied by women. Urinary incontinence is very common and may be managed with long-term urethral catheters. Bacteriuria invariably results, yet its clinical consequences are not well known. We studied 47
Although significant bacteriuria and urinary tract infection are more common in immunocompetent women than men, studies linking HIV immunosuppression with an increased risk of developing urinary infection have so far only been carried out in men. We therefore examined the relationship between
OBJECTIVE
Reports from the United States that urinary tract infections (UTI) are more common in homosexual than in heterosexual men have not been confirmed in Europe. The occurrence of several UTI in men infected with HIV-1 has been recorded in The Netherlands. We therefore analysed the relationship
OBJECTIVE
Bacteriuria is a usual complication of enterocystoplasty following cystectomy. Cranberry products may decrease the number of urinary tract infections because of a non-dialysable compound, a condensed tannin, the proanthocyanidin (PAC) type A. This study determined the effectiveness of
Urethral obstruction may be caused by prostatic hypertrophy, urethral stricture, or encrustation of a urethral-catheter lumen. Bacteriuria often complicates these obstructions. The sequelae include fever, acute pyelonephritis, chronic renal inflammation, and death. We hypothesized that even brief
OBJECTIVE
We assessed how groups at spina bifida clinics evaluate and manage the urinary tract in patients with spina bifida, neurogenic bladder and bacteriuria.
METHODS
A survey was mailed to all 169 clinics listed by the Spina Bifida Association of America. Survey items addressed baseline and
We prospectively examined the incidence of bacteriuria in malnourished patients between 6 months and 5 years of age. For each patient, a normally nourished control matched for age, sex, and presence of fever and diarrhea was included. Of 112 patients (65 boys), 55 had moderate and 57 had severe
