Topic of discussion: Urinary Tract Infections,their etiologies. The organisms responsible for the infection of the urinary tract as well as the clinical approach to the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs).
Urinary tract infection
INTRODUCTION:
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of renal system. The renal or urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.
Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. If an infection is limited to the bladder, it can be painful and annoying. But serious health problems can result if a UTI spreads to the kidneys.
Definition :-
A condition in which bacteria invade and grow in the urinary tract (the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). Most urinary tract infections occur in the bladder or urethra.
TYPES :
An infection can happen in different parts of your urinary tract. Each type has a different name, based on where it is.
• Cystitis
• Pyelonephritis
• Urethritis
• Uretritis
Incidence: . Every year about 150 million people are being diagnosed with urinary tract infection worldwide. Each and every woman has a lifetime risk of developing UTI is 60%; by contrast, men have a lifetime risk of only 13%. .
Risk Factors/causes:
UTIs are more common in females because their urethras are shorter and closer to the rectum. This makes it easier for bacteria to enter the urinary tract.
Other factors are:-
• A previous UTI
• Sexual activity
• Pregnancy
• Age (older adults and young children are more likely to get UTIs)
• Poor hygiene,
Pathophsiology:
Clinical manifestation:
Pain or burning while urinating
• Frequent urination
• Feeling the need to urinate despite having an empty bladder
• Bloody urine
• Pressure or cramping in the groin or lower abdomen
Symptoms of a kidney infection can include:
• Fever
• Chills
• Lower back pain or pain in the side of your back
• Nausea or vomiting
Diagnostic /evaluation:
History and physical examination
• Urinalysis:
• Urine culture:
• Imaging your urinary tract:
• Cystoscopy:
• Blood tests:
• Pelvic exam:
• Rectal exam:
Medical management:
Symptomatic treatments includes :
• Urinary analgesic to control pain such as urspass,pyridium.
• P.C.M to control fever and high temperature.
• Anti emetics such as emeset .perinorm to control vomiting.
• Plenty of water and fluids.
Commonly used antibiotics are
• Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Bactrim DS)
• Fosfomycin (Monurol)
• Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Macrobid, Furadantin)
• Cephalexin
• Often, UTI symptoms clear up within a few days of starting treatment. But may need to continue antibiotics for a week or more
• For an uncomplicated UTI , may recommended a shorter course of treatment. That may mean taking an antibiotic for 1 to 3 days.
• If you have frequent UTIs, may get recommended :Low-dose antibiotics. might be taken for six months or longer.
• And other measures includes :Taking a single dose of antibiotic after sex if UTIs are related to sexual activity.Vaginal estrogen therapy if you've reached menopause.
. Prevention
• Should void or Urinate after

years,pregnant women, children, hospitalized patients.
4. • ACUTE PYELONEPHRITIS: It is the upper urinary tract
infection of kidneys causing inflammation due to
complication of uti.
• Cystitis: inflammation of bladder

• Urethritis: inflammation of urethra
12. RESISTANT UTI
• Risk factors for resistant organisms include recent
broad-spectrum antimicrobial use,
• health care exposures,
• and travel to parts of the world where multidrug-
resistant organisms are prevalent
