ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the factors associated with urinary tract infection occurrence in institutionalized elderly. Methods: this is a cross-sectional, analytical, quantitative study with 116 elderly people from a Nursing Home. Urinary tract infection diagnosis was carried out through urine culture and clinical assessment. Demographic data and associated factors were obtained from medical records. Statistical analysis included bivariate analysis and logistic regression models. Results: the factors associated with urinary tract infection (p<0.05) were being female; wheelchair user; diaper use; diuretic use; urinary and bowel incontinence; type 1 diabetes; benign prostatic hyperplasia; dehydration. Conclusion: this study revealed that it is important to consider non-modifiable factors such as sex and clinical comorbidities; however, dehydration, a modifiable factor, increased the chances of developing urinary tract infections by 40 times among institutionalized elderly and demands greater attention from the health team.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are mainly caused by the presence and growth of microorganisms in the urinary tract, which are the single commonest bacterial infections of all age groups and especially in pregnancy. The main objective of this study is to determine the Prevalence of UTI among pregnant women and complications in their newborns. An observational study was carried out over a period of 6 months from March 2019 to August 2019. A total of 120 pregnant women were enrolled. UTI was diagnosed based on urinalysis reports. With the help of data collection form demographic data were collected. Out of 120 pregnant women, 35% of them had urinary tract infection. It is mostly observed high in age group of <25yrs, Primigravida, winter season and during Third trimester of pregnancy. The commonest causative organism was found to be E.coli (50%).The weight of newborn infants of mothers afflicted with UTI were significantly not lowered compared to newborns of healthy women. The prevalence rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is high. So it is important to do routine screening of all pregnant women for significant bacteriuria to reduce the complications on both maternal and fetal health.

Introduction: Nosocomial urinary tract infection represents between 30 and 50% of all these nosocomial infections. It occupies the first place and constitutes the third entry point for bacteremia. The objective of our study was to identify the risk factors associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections in maternity wards of public hospitals in Lubumbashi. Method: We carried out an analytical cross-sectional study in which the population consisted of parturients who did not have a urinary tract infection on admission. The urine samples were taken and analyzed in the laboratory of the university clinics of Lubumbashi. A case of nosocomial urinary tract infection was defined according to the WHO definition. To collect this urine, the parturients did it themselves after a health education session. Two samples were taken, one at the entry and the other at the exit of the parturient from the maternity hospital. The univariate analysis used the prevalence ratio as an indicator of risk with a 95% confidence interval and the bivariate analysis included all risk factors that had a significance level p ˂ 0.05 by a regression model binary logistics. Results: Out of the total of 1240 parturients selected and who were distributed in seven maternities of public hospitals in the city of Lubumbashi. It was noted that women who gave birth at HGR Kampemba were up to ten times more likely to develop nosocomial urinary tract infection than those who did at HGR Kisanga. An association was observed between delivery with complications (p = 0.032), long length of stay (p <0.001), delivery with surgical intervention (p <0.001) and antibiotic therapy (p = 0.020). Conclusion: Nosocomial urinary tract infections were varied depending on the characteristics of health structures, characteristics of parturients and health care. It is necessary to improve the hospital hygiene of the personnel, the hospital environment and the materials as well as a good policy of use of the antibacterials.

Background: Urinary tract infection is common with health impact in women and characterised by failure to treatment and recurrent episodes. Aim: This study was conducted to determine the risk factors for the development of urinary tract infection in diabetic and pregnant women in comparison to student female. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted during the period from 1st of June 2015 to the end of January 2016. The population included in the study are 563 women, of them 425 were outpatients, and 138 were inpatients. Their age range between 18 and 80 years, with a mean age of 33.59±15.29 years. Urine samples collected and cultured on blood agar and MacConkey agar by spread plate technique. Bacterial colonies with different morphology were selected, purified and identified according to their biochemical characteristics using conventional standard methods. Results: In diabetic women, there were no significant difference in mean age and BMI values between culture positive and culture negative groups. However, pus cell mean scale was significantly higher [P=0.000] in women with urinary tract infection [1.76±1.25] than in those with negative culture [0.69±1.00]. In pregnant women, BMI mean value was significantly [P=0.013] lower in pregnant women with UTI [26.14] as compared to those without infection [26.99]. Pus cell scale mean value was significantly [P=0.000] higher in pregnant women with UTI [1.55] than women with negative UTI [0.85]. While there was no significant difference in mean age between UTI positive and negative pregnant women. In female student, there was a significant difference between UTI infected and non-infected in mean age [P=0.041] and pus cell scale [P=0.000]. However, BMI was not significantly different between infected and non-infected female student. Other risk factors association are variables in the 3 groups when analysed using X2, while AUC and OR show different trends of association between risk factors and UTI. Conclusion: BMI, pus cell scale, child number, delivery method, operation history and hospital setting were significantly associated with culture positivity in the 3 studied groups as determined by AUC. While OR confirmed association with pus sale scale in the 3 groups.

Objectives: To investigate clinical characteristics, bacterial characteristics, drug resistance status in patients with urinary tract infections treated at Department of Urology, Hue University Hospital. Materials and Method: The study was conducted in 474 patients with urological disease treated at Department of Urology, Hue Universiry Hospital from July 2017 to April 2018. Urine culture was done in the patients with urine > 25 Leu/ul who have symptoms of urinary tract disease or infection symptoms. Patients with positive urine cultures were analyzed for clinical and bacterial characteristics. Results: 187/474 (39.5%) patients had symptoms associated with urinary tract infections. 85/474 (17.9%) patients were diagnosed with urinary tract infection. The positive urine culture rate was 45.5%. Symptoms of UTI were varied, and no prominent symptoms. E. coli accounts for the highest proportion (46.67%), followed by, Staphycoccus aureus (10.67%), Pseudomonas aeruginsa (8,0%), Streptococcus faecali and Proteus (2.67%). ESBL - producing E. coli was 69.23%, ESBL producing Enterobacter spp was 33.33%. Gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to meropenem, imipenem, amikacin while gram positive are vancomycin-sensitive. Conclusions: Clinical manifestations of urinary tract infections varied and its typical symptoms are unclear. E.coli is a common bacterium (46.67%). Isolated bacteria have a high rate of resistance to some common antibiotics especially the third generation cephalosporins and quinolones. Most bacteria are resistant to multiple antibiotics at the same time. Gram (+) bacteria are susceptible to vancomycin, and gram (-) bacteria are susceptible to cefoxitin, amikacin, and carbapenem.

AbstractOrgan abscesses caused by Streptococcus anginosus are relatively rare. We report the case of an elderly woman with splenic abscess caused by S. anginosus bacteremia after urinary tract infection. An 82-year-old woman had a history of frequency of urination, urgency, and fever with chills for over 10 days prior to admission. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan performed in the emergency room revealed a low-density lesion in the spleen, kidney cysts, some exudation around the kidney, and cystitis should be valued. She was treated with ceftriaxone and imipenem/cilastatin. After admission, the blood culture yielded positive results for S. anginosus. A contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan showed that the low-density lesion previously found in the spleen was smaller than before. After percutaneous drainage of the splenic abscess and treatment with piperacillin/tazobactam based on the antibiotic sensitivity pattern, repeated abdominal CT scan revealed a significant reduction in the low-density lesion. The patient was discharged without recurrence or complications. A systematic review of organ abscess caused by S. anginosus bacteremia was performed. To our knowledge, there has been no report of splenic abscess caused by S. anginosus bacteremia secondary to urinary system tract infection, although urinary tract infections are also an important source.
