Important Target

We describe and compare the epidemiology of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) occurring in non-intensive care unit (ICU) versus ICU wards in a network of community hospitals over a 2-year period. Overall, 72% of cases of CAUTI occurred in non-ICU patients, which indicates that this population is an important target for dedicated surveillance and prevention efforts.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify factors related to the occurrence of urinary tract infection associated with urinary catheter use. Method: A longitudinal, retrospective cohort study carried out by analyzing the electronic medical records of patients admitted to an intensive care unit of a high-complexity hospital from July 2016 to June 2017. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical analysis. Results: The incidence density of urinary tract infection related to urinary catheter use was 4.8 per 1000 catheters/day, the majority (80.6%) with no indication for catheter use, and there was no prescription for insertion and/or maintenance in 86.7%. The mean time between catheter insertion and infection diagnosis was 11.3 ± 6.3 days (6 to 28 days). Statistically significant factors (p < 0.001) related to urinary infection linked to catheter use were hospitalization time in the unit (16.7 ± 9 days), catheter permanence time (12.7 ± 6.9 days), and the use of antimicrobials in the intensive care unit (8.6 ± 6.3 days). Conclusion: The association of indication absence and the record of the need for maintenance possibly potentiated the occurrence of urinary tract infection associated to catheter use.

We report the case of a 2-month-old infant with incomplete Kawasaki disease that presented as an apparent urinary tract infection. The patient’s fever persisted despite antibiotic treatment. Intravenous immunoglobulin and aspirin therapy cured both the incomplete Kawasaki disease and bacterial pyuria. Renal sonography, voiding cystourethrography, and renal parenchyma radionuclide scanning did not detect any abnormalities. Temporary dilation of the coronary artery was noted. In a urine specimen obtained through transurethral catheterization, the growth of 105 colony-forming units/mL of extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing Escherichia coli was detected. Polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that the enzyme genotype was CTX-M-8, which is a rare type in Japan. In conclusion, attention should be paid to a misleading initial presentation of fever and pyuria, which might be interpreted as urinary tract infection in patients with Kawasaki disease. Furthermore, pediatricians should consider incomplete Kawasaki disease when patients present with fever and pyuria, which are consistent with urinary tract infection, but do not respond to antibiotic treatment.
