Post:
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common
infectious diseases occurring in either the community or
healthcare setting. Uncomplicated UTIs typically occur in the
healthy adult non-pregnant woman, while complicated UTIs
(cUTIs) may occur in all sexes and age groups and are
frequently associated with either structural or functional urinary
tract abnormalities. Examples include foreign bodies such as
calculi (stones), indwelling catheters or other drainage devices,
obstruction, immunosuppression, renal failure, renal
transplantation and pregnancy. UTI in the elderly is almost
always complicated in men with prostatic hypertrophy and in
post-menopausal women who may have an increased post-void
residual volume.
A urinary tract infection is an infection anywhere in the urinary
tract. These often cause inflammation of the urethra (urethritis),
bladder (cystitis), or kidneys (pyelonephritis).The symptoms
depend on the area affected. Typical symptoms of a lower UTI
include frequency and dysuria without fever, chills or back pain
whereas upper UTI usually presents with symptoms of
pyelonephritis such as loin pain, flank tenderness, fever or other
signs of a systemic inflammatory response.
Urinary tract infection is diagnosed by examination of a urine
culture. Further investigations using intravenous urography or
ultrasound scanning may be necessary. Most urinary tract
infections are treated with antibiotic drugs. Increasing fluid
intake and taking preparations such as potassium citrate that
make the urine less acidic can relieve the symptoms.
Trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim)
Antibiotics—trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) remains
the first choice for community-acquired UTI in most areas.
Complicated UTI is caused by a wider spectrum of organisms,
and recommendations for treatment differ. Guidelines on
specific antibiotic treatment and duration of treatment are
available, but with increasing antibiotic resistance (including of
E. coli to Trimethoprim), local microbiological advice should
be taken into account when choosing antibiotic treatment.
Advantages: Cheap, Well tolerated, high concentrations in
vaginal and peri-urethral fluid. Possible reduced risk of
emergence of resistant strains.
Disadvantages: Increasing rates of resistance, adverse reactions
(e.g. rash) to sulphonamide component.
The efficacy of antibiotics is not fully predictable from in vitro
sensitivity testing, which is probably part of the reason why
trimethoprim (with or without sulphamethoxazole) remains the
first-line choice in many areas, despite an upward trend in
resistance rates.
