In a prospective study, 100 children with either an acute or a previous history of urinary tract infection were investigated by intravenous urography, micturition cystourethrography, and ultrasonography. The results from the three diagnostic modalities were compared: The urinary tracts in 59
Acute hemorrhagic edema of infancy (AHEI) is a benign leukocytoclastic small-vessel vasculitis that affects infants, presenting with a classic clinical triad. Because of the self-limited progression, conservative management is the most common approach. We describe a case of AHEI apparently triggered
Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is uncommon with an incidence reported as 0.33-1.96 abscesses per 10,000 hospital admissions per year. Two-thirds of the cases were caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a less common cause of SEA, and it is usually after
An 18-year-old woman pregnant at 37 weeks gestation and with a history of recurrent urinary tract infection was admitted with a clinical picture of pyelonephritis that responded favorably to antibiotic treatment. After 2 days, cervical ripening was induced with prostaglandin E2 gel and labor was
A case report of pulmonary edema associated with the use of a betamimetic agent in preterm labor is reported. A 31-year-old, black multigravida woman, 28 weeks pregnant, was admitted to the hospital with dysuria, vaginal bleeding, and uterine contractions. She had experienced premature labor in her
Male patients with spinal cord injury and urinary tract infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa were treated with cefsulodin (1.0 or 1.5 Gm) every six hours or an aminoglycoside (amikacin 5 mg/Kg or tobramycin 1 mg/Kg) every eight hours for seven days. The study was discontinued after treating 6
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in female dogs and recurrent infections often require investigation by transurethral cystoscopy.Describe the findings of transurethral cystoscopy in dogs presented for recurrent urinary tract infections From January 1981 to December 1987, 346 children with urinary tract infections, proved by urine culture, were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Mackay Memorial Hospital. The ratio of male to female was 3.0 in children below 2 years, and 0.8 in children above 2 years, of age. The urine
We report a urinary tract infection (UTI) with erythrovirus B19 in an HIV-1-positive homosexual man persisting for more than 7 months after the decline of viremia after a primary infection. During the course of the UTI, the patient complained of soreness in the kidney region and suffered from
The purpose of this study was to assess human β-defensin-2 (hBD-2) gene transfection in human bladder epithelial cells and its therapeutic efficacy in a rat urinary tract infection (UTI) model via liposome mediated gene transfer. A large amount of hBD2 production (36.5 ± 3.2 ng/10(6) cells) was
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most commonly reported infections in adult women and have high rates of recurrence, especially in postmenopausal women. Recurrent UTI (RUTI) greatly reduces quality of life, places a significant burden on the healthcare system, and contributes to antimicrobial
BACKGROUND

When Pseudomonas aeruginosa was injected through a catheter into the bladder. Hemorrhage, edema, and vessel engorgement were seen 1 h after challenge. At 3 hours we observed microulceration of the bladder, which rapidly healed and was rarely present after 24 h. Pseudomonas was cultured from 50% of
The chronic use of urinary indwelling catheters is a common practice in the setting of long-term patient care and is associated with numerous complications. More awareness about urogenital trauma from urinary catheterization is needed, as it is as common as symptomatic urinary tract infections.
