Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infectious disease caused by the growth and proliferation of bacteria in the urinary tract, including infections in the bladder to the renal parenchyma with a certain number of bacteria in the urine. The use of antibiotics is therapy that commonly used to treat infectious diseases caused by bacteria. Irrational use of antibiotics can lead to bacterial resistance and toxicity. Objective: To determine the rationality of using antibiotics in adult patients with a urinary tract infection (UTI) in the X Hospital Yogyakarta from January-December 2017.Methods: This study is a non-experimental study with a descriptive observational study design and retrospective data collection. The sample of this study was inpatients with a diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) and was recorded in the Medical Record X Hospital Yogyakarta for the period January-December 2017 which was included in the inclusion criteria. Results: Medical records that were included in the inclusion criteria were 61. The single most widely used antibiotic was ceftriaxone in 25 cases (44.64%) and the most widely used combination antibiotic was ceftazidime + levofloxacin in 2 cases (40%). The use of antibiotics with the right indication was 61 patients (100%), the right type was 61 patients (100%), the correct duration was 54 patients (88.52%), the right dose was 61 patients (100%), the right interval was 60 patients (98.36%) and the right route of administration was 61 patients (100%).

Objective: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections observed in diabetic patients. This study is aimed at identifying the organisms with their anti-bacterial resistance pattern. Methods: A total of 400 diabetic patients over a period of nine months presenting with symptom s of urinary tract infection were taken for the study. Their urine were cultured and an antibiogram done. Results: E. coli, Klebsiella and Enterococci were the commonest organism found. It was found that E. coli, which was the commonest organism E. Coli was sensitive to Norfloxacin and resistant to Ciprofloxacin. Conclusion: Empirical treatment with ciprofloxacin, Which is considered the drug of choice, will lead to failure of treatment.

Congenital bladder diverticula are strongly associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and are mostly present in childhood. The most common symptom is urinary tract infection at the time of admission. The diverticulum is usually solitary and its locationis near the ureteral orifice, which is probably the main cause of VUR. We report a woman who presented with a vaginal mass located on the right inferior part of the external urethral meatus. The patient had a history of recurrent urinary tract infection and right nephrectomy due to VUR nephropathy. We examined her with cystography, computerized tomography, and cystoscopy. The cystoscopic examination was very diagnostic in our patient. The patient underwent diverticulectomy, and after 6 months of follow-up, her complaints had completely disappeared.

Purposes: Evaluation of the result treatment upper urinary tract infection in the patient with obstructive urolithiasis. Participants and Methods: 9 patients with obstructive pyelonephritis urolithiasis from October 2015 to May 2016 at Hue Univesity Hospital. Results: Male:female ratio was 1: 3.5. Median age was 58.59 ± 8.62 years (range 48–71 years). The clinical findings when admitted at hospital were as follows: body temperature 38.82 ± 0.74°C, pulse rate 93.89 ± 11.42/min, respiratory rate 19.89 ± 1.45/min, Systolic blood pressure 126.67 ± 21.79 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 78.89 ± 6.00 mmHg. The laboratory results were as follows: WBC: 14.22 ± 5.7 G/l, platelets 262.67 ± 106.54 G/l, serum creatinine 133 ± 55.5 umol/l, serum CRP 118.94 ± 88.92 mg/l, serum procalcitonin 4.32 ± 9.02 ng/ml. The right-side ureteric stones were found in 6 patients (66.7%), the left-side stones were found in 3 patients (33.3%). The average size of the stones was 23.67 ± 11.88 mm. 9 patients (100%) received transurethral stenting using a double-J ureteral catheter. All patients received antimicrobial therapies. After the drainage of the upper urinary tract and using antimicrobial therapies, clinical and laboratory condition of most of patients was improved significantly (fever had broken, no pain at the lumbar region, kidney vibration was painless). Conclusions: Upper urinary tract infection in patients with obstructive urolithiasis was urological emergency condition. It is necessary to have early treatment to avoid urosepsis, shock sepsis. Key words: upper urinary, obstructive urolithiasis

Background. Typhoid fever is a common health problem in developing countries. Antibiotics are used to treat typhoidfever which is caused by a bacterial infection. Selection and use of appropriate and rational antibiotic therapy candetermine a success in treatment to avoid bacterial resistance and minimize drug side effects. This study aims todetermine the rationality of the use of antibiotics in adult patients diagnosed with typhoid fever in the InpatientInstallation of X Hospital in Yogyakarta. Method. Non-experimental research with descriptive observational researchdesign and retrospective data collection.

Result. Data taken came from 75 medical records that were includedin the inclusion criteria. Patients were dominated by female patients as many as 64% and the adult age range was 18-30 years. The single most widely used antibiotic was levofloxacin in 27 cases (36%). The use of antibiotics with theright indication was 75 patients (100%), the right type was 75 patients (100%), the exact duration of administrationwas 64 patients (85.33%), the right dose was 73 patients (97.33%), the right interval was 73 patients (97.33%) and theright route of administration were 75 patients (100%).
