Catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients of TSBHI “Altai territory hospital for war veterans” urological unit

Aim. To assess manifestations and risk factors of epidemiological process of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI) in patients of the urological unit of “Altai Territory Hospital for War Veterans” (ATHWV). Materials and methods. One hundred medical records of UTI patients, treated in this urological unit were analyzed to determine the association between the UTI sickness rate and the insertion of catheters among patients, treated in the urological unit of “Altai Territory Hospital for War Veterans” during 2017. Results. Assessment of epidemiological process in catheter-associated UTI patients of “ATHWV” urological unit resulted in the following: UTI sickness rate in “ATHWV” is associated with urinary bladder catheterization and can be interpreted as health care-associated infections since all the observed patients underwent urinary tract catheterization procedure in conditions of “ATHWV” urological unit. Conclusions. Microbiological urine analysis with determination of antibiotic-resistance and disinfectant-resistance of the excreted pathogens should be conducted in all the patients, who undergo urinary bladder catheterization procedure since there is a high percentage of microbiologically-evidenced symptomatic UTI (35.9 %).

Tract Infections

Background and Objectives: Our aim is to identify uropathogens that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs) that necessitate hospitalization, and analyze outcomes of gestational UTIs. Methods: This study consisted of 30 pregnant women who necessitate hospitalization because of UTI (7.8% of gestational UTIs during the same period of time). UTI that necessitates hospitalization is defined as clinical complaints, urination problems, urine analysis and culture positivity, fever and uterine discomfort. Patients with at least two positive cultures (≥ 100,000 cfu/ml) were included to this study. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were obtained in all cases in order to determine antimicrobial resistance and to choose the ideal antibiotics for treatment. Results: In our study, we have found that Escherichia coli is the most common microorganism (56.7%). Enterococcus faecalis (13.3%) and Klebsiella pneumonia (10%) were other frequently observed microorganisms. In this series, mean gestational week at birth was 35 weeks 5 days (range 23-40 weeks). Mean birthweight was 2,656 g (range 500-3,700 g). Twenty-three cases (76.7%) were hospitalized before 37th gestational week and preterm delivery rate was 56.3%. Maternal risk factors and coexisting diseases were detected in 11 (36.7%) patients as follows: diabetes mellitus in 4, thrombophilia in 3, thyroid disorders in 3 and hydroureteronephrosis in 1 case. Cesarean section rate was 65.2%. Conclusions: Knowing uropathogens of patient population is beneficial in the management of patients and better planning of future medical treatments. Preterm labor seems to be an important complication in pregnancies with UTIs going together with fever and urination problems.

Bibliographic Study

ABSTRACTObjective: to check the prevalence of microorganisms isolated and described some procedures needed for prevention and diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI) when associated with bladder catheterization. Method: this is about a bibliographic study whose sources correspond to articles, books and manuals related to the theme. Results: the most prevalent organisms were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. and Enterobacter sp. Conclusions: given the foregoing, it’s observed that the evaluation of these patients should be continuous, on suspicion of UTI the laboratorial exams should be prescribed and the samples should be collected by competent professional to facilitate and make more precise plan for the treatment of patients with this type of infection. Descriptors: infection; urinary tract; catheter; tests; laboratorial research.RESUMOObjetivos: verificar a prevalência dos microrganismos isolados e descrever alguns procedimentos necessários para prevenção e diagnóstico da infecção do trato urinário (ITU) quando associados ao cateterismo vesical. Métodos: este estudo tem cunho bibliográfico, suas fontes correspondem aos artigos, livros e manuais pertinentes ao tema. Resultados: os microrganismos mais prevalentes foram Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. e Enterobacter sp. Conclusão: diante do exposto, observa-se que a avaliação destes pacientes deve ser contínua, em suspeita de ITU os exames laboratoriais devem ser prescritos e as amostras devem ser coletadas por profissional competente, a fim de facilitar e tornar mais precisa o plano de tratamento do paciente com este tipo de infecção. Descritores: infecção; trato urinário; cateter; exames; investigação laboratorial.RESUMENObjetivo: verificar la prevalencia de los microorganismos aislados y describir algunos de los procedimientos necesarios para la prevención y diagnóstico en la infecciones del aparato urinario (IAU) cuando se asocian con el cateterismo vesical. Métodos: El estudio fue de naturaleza bibliográfica, a partir de artículos científicos, libros y manuales pertinentes al tema. Resultados: los organismos más prevalentes fueron Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp. y Enterobacter sp. Conclusiones: Se observa que la avaluación de esos pacientes debe ser continua en los casos que se sospeche de infecciones urinarias, con prescripción de exámenes de laboratorio, destacándose que las muestras deben ser colectadas por profesionales competentes, para que el plano de tratamiento del paciente sea precisa. Descriptores: infección; aparato urinario; catéter; investigación laboratorial.
