Urinary tract infection

that promote the growth of bacteria, as well as monomers that specific strains of bacteria shed when they begin replicating inside a new host cell. Depending on the symptoms of the patient further tests and data collection may be required. If the infection were to spread to the kidneys it could cause Kidney failure and ultimately death. An ultrasound examination can be used to check for inflammation of the kidneys and bladder. There are studies that can be done in children to identify…

Since P.aeruginosa is frequently found in the hospital environment and in the normal stool flora, it is difficult to trace the source of infection and/or colonization unless a complete study is undertaken.(Teplitz et al., 1964). The epidemiology of hospital infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated by pyocin typing. The typing method, which determined the pyocin activity of clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa on 27 indicator strains, was…

are not many ways in which they can help the patient. Doctors can only help the patient alleviate their symptoms by giving them heating pads for muscle cramps, request physical therapy and give them antibiotics for urinary tract infections. Antibiotics cannot be used to kill this infection because Poliomyelitis is caused by the poliovirus, not by a bacteria. Although symptoms of polio may only last up to 72 hours, the after effects of polio are long…

Neisseria meningitidis is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children and young adults. Extrameningeal manifestations of Neisseria meningitidis infection are uncommon in normal children and are a consequence of invasion of the bacterium into the blood stream. We describe a case of IMD with meningoencephalitis, septic arthritis, myositis and pleural effusion who developed secondary fever and prolonged hospitalization. Case report: A 10-year-old boy previously healthy was referred from…

Septic arthritis, also known as infectious or bacterial arthritis, is described as a painful infection that is present in a joint capsule in the human body. Synovial fluid, a lubricating substance found inside a joint capsule, is sterile in an uninfected joint. When a joint becomes infected, this synovial fluid is taken over by microorganisms that set up the infection. It is an uncommon infection, but it involves immediate treatment if detected due to its ability to permanently damage the joint.…

diseases. They are known as one of the first drugs to fix the issues in a time when most drugs could not work to help prevent sickness. Sulfonamides are a group of antimicrobial drugs that contain the sulfanilamide group used to treat certain bacterial infections. The way in which they were discovered is unique. Sulfa drugs were widely used during World war II, which made a great impact on the mortality rate during the war. The new miracle drug could be carried in powder form and made it easy…

Urinary Incontinence among the Elderly Population Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common lower urinary tract dysfunction defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as an involuntary loss of urine resulting in social or hygienic problems (Abrams et al 2009). Essentially, urinary incontinence is understood as leakage of urine that occurs beyond the control of the individual. In the elderly population, urinary incontinence greatly impacts the quality of life and is characterized…

Diseases affect both human and animal populations. The epidemic is worse in a wildlife case scenario. This is because the animals are scattered in the wild. It is hard to account for the infected animals. Furthermore, it is even harder to avail treatment to the infected animals. Wildlife is very important to our ecosystem. Besides, they are a tourist attraction. Therefore, wildlife must be protected from extinction. Australia continent is very famous for koalas. Koalas are very…

3 For infants below 1 month of age, azithromycin is recommended.1 This drug is also the drug of choice for adults compared to erythromycin as it has fewer serious drug interactions.1 Macrolides, in general, are used to treat respiratory infections caused by both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Aside from having a high level of tissue penetration, their antimicrobial activity is focused on the inhibition bacterial protein synthesis. As macrolides have 1,2, and 3 ribosomal binding…

Ureteroscope remain the most commonly used type of scope for access to the upper urinary tract.6…
