Tract Infections

A random group of 100 patients in a general hospital were treated with cephazolin sodium for proven urinary tract infections. Sixty-six per cent had conditions predisposing to urinary tract infection. Under these somewhat difficult conditions the original infecting organism remained absent from the urine of 75 per cent of the 70 patients followed in the 3rd to 6th week period. This compares very favourably with response to other antimicrobial agents currently used in urinary tract infections.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria often results in a delay in obtaining appropriate antibiotics. The information on patients’ clinical characteristics is necessary for early recognition and the selection of empiric antibiotic therapy. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics and the length of therapy of patients with urinary tract infections by those resistant bacteria.Method: This study utilizes a cross-sectional design. Medical records of hospitalized children aged 1-18 months with UTI due to ESBL-producing bacteria at Dr. Soetomo general hospital between January 1, 2017 - July 20, 2020, were reviewed retrospectively. Variables of interest were the demographic data, underlying diseases, causative organism, clinical presentation, maximal body temperature, and length of antibiotic therapy.Results: Among 37 patients enrolled, 25 patients were female. The incidence of urinary tract infection in children was dominated by age 1-12 months old (37.8%). Urological abnormalities were presented in 62.2% of patients. ESBL-producing Escherichia coli was the most common isolated uropathogen (62.2%). High fever was found in 10/28 patients (35.7%). In 17 patients (45.9%), the total duration of antibiotic therapy was 8-14 days.Conclusion: In children with UTI, especially in the infant group, who had urological abnormality or present with a high fever, and who do not respond to empiric therapy should be suspected of developing UTI due to ESBL-producing bacteria.

In infancy most common and a serious disease is known as Urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of the current study is to evaluate the frequency and antibiotic resistant among infant presenting with UTI in Lahore General hospital, Lahore-Pakistan. The current observational study comprised 100 (n=100) cases diagnosed with UTI. The study was conducted at Lahore General Hospital, Pakistan, between March 2019 and January 2020. Data were collected and recorded on specified proformas that had information on demographics, biochemical analysis, and complaints, as well as the antibiotic used and blood cultures. The most common gram-negative bacilli (GNB) causing UTI was E. coli constitute about 72% followed by Klebsiella (11%), Enterobacter (7%) and Enterococcus (4%). Most of the isolated pathogens are highly resistant to ampicillin, cotrimoxazole, and cephalexin (72%–95%), have intermediate sensitivity to third- generation cephalosporins, and high sensitivity to amikacin, nitrofurantoin and ciprofloxacin. Similarly, the other pathogens showed different degree of occurrence and resistance against empirically used antibiotics. The most prevalent UTI causative organism among children was E. coli. The insulated microorganisms were highly resistant to ampicillin, and highly sensitive to amikacin.

Abstract Abstract Background: Premature rupture of membrane is a significant cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality both in high and low income countries which accounts 5-10 % of all deliveries. Due to different factors associated with the quality of health care given and socio-economic factors, the effect of preterm premature rupture of membrane is worsen in low-income countries. However, very little evidence is known about the problem in Ethiopian particularly in the study area. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membrane and its associated factors among pregnant women admitted in Debre tabor general hospital. METHODS: Facility based cross-sectional study was conducted at Debre tabor general Hospital from December 14 – June 20, 2019. A total of 424 mothers were included in the study. Systematic random sampling technique was used selected the study participants. A combination of chart review and interview were used to collect the data. Data entry and analysis were made by using Epi-data version 4.2 and SPSS versions 23 respectively. Both descriptive & analytical statistics were computed. Statistical significance was considered at P<0.05 and the strength of association were assessed by using adjusted odds ratio. Result: The prevalence preterm premature rupture of membrane was found to be 13.7%. Pregnant women with abnormal vaginal discharge [AOR=5.30, 95%C1=2.07-13.52], urinary tract infection [AOR =2.62, 95%Cl =1.32-5.19], history of premature rupture of membrane [AOR =3.31, 95%Cl =1.32-8.27], vaginal bleeding [AOR =2.58, 95%Cl =1.14-5.82] and mid upper arm circumstance <23cm [AOR =6.26, 95%Cl =3.21-12.20] were found to be associated with preterm premature rupture of membrane. Conclusions: The prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membrane was high. Abnormal vaginal discharge, urinary tract infection, vaginal bleeding, previous premature rupture of membrane and mid upper arm circumstance <23cm were factors associated with an increased risk for preterm premature rupture of membrane. Thus, early screening, diagnosis and quickly treatments of urinary tract infection and abnormal vaginal discharges during pregnancy were recommended to reduce the risk of preterm premature rupture of membrane.
