Tract Infections

A urinary tract infection is the most common bacterial infection met in day to day practice. It is more common in females than males due to shorter urethra which allows the bacteria quick access to the bladder. In Ayurveda symptoms of UTI has close resemblance with Mutrakruchha. Acharya Charaka has described eight types of Mutrakrichha. In Mutrakrichha, the vitiated Pitta dosha along with Apana Vayu reaches the Vasti (bladder) and afflicts the Mutravaha Srotas due to which the patient feels painful and burning micturition. In this case report a 45 years old female patient presenting with symptoms of urinary urgency, increased frequency and burning micturition on and off since 10 years was diagnosed as a case of recurrent UTI, managed effectively with chandraprabha vati, gokshuradi guggulu shwetparpati for 21days and uttarbasti procedure for 3days. The assessment were done before and after treatment showed significant changes in sign, symptoms and urine examination report. No recurrence of UTI was noticed in follow up visit. Ayurvedic management offers a good approach to manage Mutrakrichha.

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Urinary tract infection is the most common infectious complication following renal transplantation and its frequency is insufficiently studied in Portugal. The aim of this study was to characterize the incidence of urinary tract infections and recurrent urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients.<br /><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective cohort observational study, obtained from clinical files of all patients who received a renal transplant at the Hospital of Santa Cruz, from January 2004 to December 2005, with a mean follow-up period of five years or until date of graft loss, death or loss of follow-up. After a descriptive analysis of the population, we used bivariate tests to identify risk factors for urinary tract infections.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 127 patients were included, with a 593 patients.year follow-up. We detected 53 patients (41.7%) presenting with at least one episode of urinary tract infection; 21 patients (16.5%) had recurrent urinary tract infection. Female gender was the only risk factor associated with the occurrence of urinary tract infections (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 7.08, RR = 2.95) and recurrent urinary tract infections (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 4.66, RR = 2.83). Escherichia coli (51.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.5%) and Enterobacter spp (9.9%) were the<br />most frequently identified pathogens. Patients did not reveal an increased mortality or allograft loss. However, urinary tract infections were the most important cause of hospital admissions.<br /><strong>Discussion:</strong> Female gender was the only risk factor for urinary tract infections in this population. Escherichia coli was the most frequent agent isolated.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Despite preventive measures, urinary tract infections remain an important cause of morbidity and hospital admissions.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Urinary Tract Infections; Postoperative Complications; Risk Factors; Kidney Transplantation; Portugal.

Urethral Dilation

To study the influence of successful ureterovesicoplasty on incidence of recurrent urinary infection, two groups of infected children were compared in this regard before and after urologic evaluation. Of 280 new pediatric urologic hospital admissions, 55.6% had urinary tract infections. Sixty-six of these 156 infected children had vesicoureteral reflux. Bacteriologic localization of infection site was performed in both children with and without reflux at the time of diagnostic cystoscopy. Both groups were specifically treated with short-term antibiotic therapy and empiric urethral dilation. Operative vesicoureteroplasty was carried out in 62 children with reflux, with an overall cure rate of 83.8%. Distal urethral stenosis was not a contributing factor in this population nor did urethral caliber relate to the incidence of reflux. Only 3 of 35 children without reflux were found to have bacteriologically proved upper urinary tract infection. Similarly, only 32% of these children without reflux had clinical histories suggestive of recurrent pyelonephritis. In the children with reflux undergoing bacteriologic localization while infected, no nonrefluxing ureters were found infected, and only one third of the refluxing ureters so studied had proved upper urinary tract infection. Historical evidence for clinical pyelonephritis was present in 79% of the population with reflux; but, after successful cure of reflux, only 7% of these children continued to have pyelonephritic episodes. The long-term incidence of recurrent urinary tract infection was virtually identical, however, in the children undergoing successful antireflux surgery and the children without reflux following ureteral dilation. This relationship indicates that reflux plays little role in the etiology of bacteriunia but has a profound influence on urinary tract infection morbidity in children.

Now a days recurrent UTI is on common infection among the people, more common in women, particularly in child bearing age. The current research aims at providing a cost effective, long standing treatment protocol for the management of recurrent UTI and also for minimizing the recurrence of symptoms for a longer duration.. The objective of the study is to assess the effect of naturopathic modalities in the signs, symptoms and microscopical features of recurrent urinary tract infection. The study was a before and after Quasi – experimental or Non- randomized design. Data from an individual case sheet Proforma specifying demographical data, general history, clinical history related to urinary tract infection, physical examinations, laboratory investigation, data related with treatment and its response were collected. A consultation and examination was performed to grade the signs and symptoms. Grading was done before and after treatment. Routine blood investigation including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and data related to presence of pus cells in urine were also collected. The naturopathic modalities including hot hip bath, abdominal hot compress, juice therapy and diet control is found to be therapeutically very effective in reducing the symptoms of urinary tract infection. Juice therapy used in the study has diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties and provide good results.

Urinary tract infections are the second most widespread infection and are elaborated in Ayurveda classical texts. The aim of the study is to compare the effect of the two well recognised and practised Ayurveda preparations in the treatment of urinary tract infection. 34 patients with proven UTI complaints in the age group of 20 to 60 years were randomly selected from out-patient and in-patient departments as per randomization chart and were divided into Group A and group B. Respectively in group A and group B, patients were advised 15 mL of Ardhabilwa kashaya and Brihatyadi kashaya before food thrice daily with equal quantity of water. After seven days follow up, assessment was done based on the clinical signs and symptoms. Urine examination at base th th line, 7 and at 15 day was performed.Study proved both drugs were clinically efcacious and statistically signicant in the management of urinary tract infection.

Abstract Background An association between bladder-bowel dysfunction (BBD) and urinary tract infection (UTI) is well-known. However, a question less explored is whether children with UTI early in life also have increased prevalence of BBD after they are toilet-trained. In this study, consecutively selected children with pyelonephritis during their first year of life were assessed for BBD at pre-school age. Methods Ninety-two children (51 boys) hospitalized due to pyelonephritis during their first year of life were assessed for BBD at median age 5.4 years. A validated BBD questionnaire, along with urine flow and residual volume measurements, was used for diagnosing BBD. During follow-up, the group was well-characterized regarding renal status, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and recurrent UTI. Results BBD was diagnosed in 35/92 (38%), of which the majority was sub-diagnosed with dysfunctional voiding (DV). There was a strong association between BBD and recurrent UTI during follow-up (p < 0.0001), but only a slight association with VUR status at presentation. Nevertheless, in the group with both BBD and VUR, recurrent UTI was four times higher (12/13, 92%) than in children who had neither VUR nor BBD (23%), (p = 0.0008). BBD was also associated with kidney damage (p = 0.017). Conclusion In children with pyelonephritis during the first year of life, 38% had BBD at pre-school age, regardless of whether they had VUR or not. The study shows an important association between BBD and recurrent UTI, so an assessment of BBD is therefore recommended for pre-school children with UTI, especially when they have history of pyelonephritis during infancy.

Generally, the most common triggers for Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) are infectious diseases, such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) or pneumonia. However, emphysematous infections are significant diseases rarely associated with DKA. Here, we present two cases of emphysematous urinary tract infection associated to diabetic ketoacidosis, highlighting the importance of a timely intervention and treatment. We review the need for appropriate laboratory and image testing in the context of infected patients who do not reach inflammatory/ glycemic goals to diagnosticate complicated infectious processes. This case report and mini-review also explore pathophysiology, the association of DKA and urinary emphysematous infections and treatment options.

The association between teething and fever has attracted considerable interest because studies have reported controversial results. These discordant results have posed a challenge in the management of fever occurring during teething.  The objective of this paper is to supplement previous studies which showed association between teeth eruption and fever and highlight mismanagement of teething induced fever. A 9-month old baby girl presented with fever during teeth eruption. Despite of no malaria parasites seen on blood slide and lack of features and laboratory investigations suggestive of urinary tract infection or bacteremia, the child was treated with antimalarial drugs and prescribed antibiotics. This case study demonstrates that unrecognized teething induced fever leads to unnecessary use of anti-malarial drugs and antibiotics.  We recommend paediatricians to consider teething as one of the causes of fever among children.

High Index Of Suspicion

Urinary tract infection (UTI) in childhood is surpassed only by the usual fevers and upper respiratory tract infections in its frequency of occurrence,1 yet a high index of suspicion, aggsiveesive treatment, and conscientious follow-up is not common.2 Although most infants with UTI have few residua, others require urinary tract diversion and still others develop end-stage renal disease.1 Perhaps the reason that UTIs are often overlooked in children is because of the emphasis that is put on flank pain, dysuria, or frequency as signs of UTI, with little regard to the age variables associated with these symptoms. However, nonspecific symptoms such as jaundice, anorexia, vomiting, failure to thrive, enuresis, and abdominal pain may signal UTI in a young child.1

Six cases of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) treated with L-Dopa have been described in the literature1-3 but no substantial follow-up is available regarding the surviving patients. We treated a young girl in HE with L-Dopa and have had an 18-month follow-up to date. Case Report A. 13-year-old Negro girl with a one-year history of recurrent urinary tract infections was admitted with anasarca and ascites. She was normotensive and neurologically stable. Hematuria was observed but serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were normal.
