True Infection

Funguria rarely represents true infection in the urinary tract. Excluding yeast from the catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) surveillance definition reduced CAUTI rates by nearly 25% in community hospitals and at an academic, tertiary-care medical center.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2015;00(0): 1–3

AbstractWe compared community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) with hospital-acquired UTI at the American University of Beirut Medical Center. Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated organism. Hospital-acquired E. coli isolates were often rnultidrug resistant. These results can be used to improve empiric treatment of UTI.

Psychiatric Manifestations

This report comprises concurrent studies of the urologic and psychiatric manifestations of intrapsychic conflict among a group of children who had been admitted to the surgical wards of The Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, between 1965 to 1970 for complaints of disordered urination. Experience with these children indicates that anxiety can alter the frequency and disturb the adequacy of voiding to a degree sufficient to dispose the child to urinary tract infection. This effect of anxiety can occur both in the presence or absence of a demonstrable anatomic lesion. It suggests that an assessment of the degree and nature of the child's anxiety should be an integral part of the pediatric urologic examination.
