bacteriuria/vomiting

Among the 446 high risk neonates studied for significant bacteriuria and pyuria in the neonatal wards of the Obafemi Awolowo University teaching hospital Complex, Ile-Ife, 7.6% and 5.8% were positive for significant bacteriuria and pyuria respectively, while none of the 81 infants in the control

A comparative trial of pivmecillinam and ampicillin was performed on 100 women with bacteriuria of pregnancy. They received either 400 mg pivmecillinam four times daily or 500 mg ampicillin four times daily for seven days. Cure rates at two weeks were 88% in the pivmecillinam group and 85% in the

A 10-year-old girl with a lumbosacral myelomeningocele, managed with clean intermittent catheterization, presented with headache, vomiting, and lethargy. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine cultures revealed Escherichia coli, documented to be the same subtype. The organisms were subtyped and the

BACKGROUND Asymptomatic bacteriuria occurs in 5% to 10% of pregnancies and, if left untreated, can lead to serious complications. OBJECTIVE To assess which antibiotic is most effective and least harmful as initial treatment for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy. METHODS We searched the Cochrane

In a prospective study of 180 children admitted consecutively to King Edward VIII Hospital, bacteriuria (BU) was detected in 47 (26%), associated with pyuria in 35. BU occurred in association with other common childhood diseases in all but one child: acute lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in

Ten per cent of girls and 3% of boys will have had a UTI by 16 years of age. The majority are acute, isolated illnesses that resolve quickly, with no long-term implications for the patient. However, UTIs may be associated with underlying congenital abnormalities, and recurrent infections can lead to

To determine when children with acute diarrhoea should be investigated for urinary tract infection (UTI), we studied 120 patients and 120 healthy age- and sex-matched controls aged 4 weeks to 5 years. In those with positive or suspicious urine cultures, bacteriuria or pyuria, urine culture was

Diabetes Mellitus is a major health problem of today's world. Urinary tract infection is its common complication. A descriptive, cross sectional study was designed to know the prevalence of culture positive Urinary Tract Infection in diabetic patients, to know their common clinical features and to

Timely management of patients presenting to the ED while in their first trimester of pregnancy can improve outcomes for both the patient and the fetus. Common obstetric problems encountered include vaginal bleeding and miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and pregnancy of undetermined location, and nausea

Isepamicin is a new aminoglycoside, derived from gentamicin B, which is more stable than other aminoglycosides against inactivating enzymes, and is less nephrotoxic. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of a once daily isepamicin in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), as

BACKGROUND Children with neurogenic bladders who require clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) frequently have bacteriuria. However, there is no consensus on what constitutes at urinary tract infection (UTI) in this population. Multiple subspecialists are often involved in the management of these

Fifty-eight patients seen in general practice presenting with symptoms of acute urinary tract infection were entered consecutively into an open randomized trial of 200 mg pivmecillinam plus 250 mg pivampicillin twice daily or 250 mg amoxycillin plus 125 mg clavulanate 3-times daily for 5 days. The

The prevalence of neonatal urinary tract infection (UTI) was studied in 1,762 high-risk neonates. Symptomatic bacteriuria was found in 1.9% and asymptomatic bacteriuria in 0.5% of these neonates. Male preponderance was 5:1. Clinical manifestations were extremely variable--vomiting, weight loss, and

A double-blind trial was carried out in 177 patients with acute symptomatic urinary tract infections to assess the efficacy and tolerability of nitrofurantoin plus sulphadiazine at two dosage levels. Patients were allocated, at random, to receive 7-days' treatment with either 50 mg nitrofurantoin
