This case discusses a 13-year-old Thai boy presenting with right flank pain and urinary tract infection symptoms for 1 day. Physical examination found costovertebral angle tenderness on the right side. Investigations including urine analysis, urine culture and ultrasound were performed. He was diagnosed with acute urinary tract infection and treated with intravenous antibiotics. Follow up showed resolution of symptoms and no growth on repeat urine culture. Management included treatment of the acute infection and plans for prevention of recurrence through antibiotic prophylaxis and radiological investigation given his risk factors.
A urinary tract infection (or UTI) is caused by a bacterial infection in the urinary tract. The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra.
Normally, bacteria that enter the urinary tract are quickly removed by the body before they cause symptoms. But sometimes bacteria overcome the body’s natural defenses and cause infection, thus leading to a UTI.
Urinary Tract Infections are the 2nd most popular type of infection in the body. Women are especially prone to UTIs for anatomical reasons. *One factor is that a woman’s urethra is shorter, allowing bacteria quicker access to the bladder. Also, a woman’s urethral opening is near sources of bacteria from the anus and vagina. For women, the lifetime risk of having a UTI is greater than 50 percent.

Recurrent urinary tract infection-Evidence based approachWafaa Benjamin
Recurrent UTI is a common problem encountered in many areas of clinical practice.
It is a cause of significant morbidity: urinary infection is one of the commonest indications for antibiotic prescription in community and hospital settings.
The majority of cases are uncomplicated and respond rapidly to appropriate treatment.
In the management of women with any type of UTI, it is important to have an appreciation of the pathogenesis, host and bacterial interaction, methods of diagnosis, treatment algorithms and local antibiotic sensitivities.
It should be remembered that 20-30% of women with UTI develop at least one recurrent infection

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

• Beyond 1 yr Male : female = 1:10
• Girls
– First UTI usually occurs by the age of 5 yr
with peaks during infancy and toilet training

especially as a cause of cystitis
22. Pathogenesis and Pathology
• Ascending infections
– Arise from the fecal flora colonize the perineum
urethra enter the bladder
– Uncircumcised boys, the bacteria beneath the prepuce
– Normally the simple and compound papillae in the kidney
have an antireflux mechanism BUT Some compound
papillae, typically located in the upper and lower poles of
the kidney, allow intrarenal reflux
– Voiding dysfunction, Infrequent Urinary stasis
• Hematogenous spread (Rare) – renal infection
23.
24. Risk Factors for Urinary Tract Infection

- N/V
- Occasionally diarrhea
- Infants = nonspecific
symptoms such as
jaundice, poor feeding,
irritability, and weight
loss
- Dysuria
- Urgency
- Frequency
- Suprapubic pain
- Incontinence
- Malodorous urine
- * No fever
28. Asymptomatic bacteriuria
• Positive urine culture without any
manifestations of infection and occurs almost
exclusively in girls
• If left untreated in Pregnant women , can
result in a symptomatic UTI
29. Physical examination
• Hypertension (hydronephrosis or renal parenchyma disease)
• Abdominal tenderness or mass
• Palpable bladder, tenderness
• CVA tenderness
• Drippling, poor stream, or straining to void
• External genitalia
30. Investigation

– Color : Clear or cloudy, Malodor
– pH : Base – Urea splitting organism (Proteus, Klebsiella)
– Concentrating ability – Impair in acute pyelonephritis
– Pyuria (leukocytes in the urine) > 5 cell/HPF
• * Can be present or not in urine infection
– Nitrites and leukocyte esterase - usually positive in
infected urine
– Microscopic hematuria is common in acute cystitis
– WBC casts - suggest renal involvement (Rarely seen)
• Urine gram (Spun urine) – Bact 10 /HPF
31. Diagnosis
• Urine culture (Necessary for confirmation)
• Sample collection
– Bag collection
– Clean voided (Midstream urine)
– Suprapubic puncture
– Catheterization
• Placing the sample in a refrigerator 4 c within 2 hr
32.
33. Investigation
• CBC - Leukocytosis, neutrophilia
• Elevated ESR and CRP are common ( nonspecific
markers of bacterial infection )
• With a renal abscess, WBC > 20,000 to 25,000/mm3
• Blood cultures should be considered
– Because sepsis is common in pyelonephritis
34. Principle of management
1. Treatment of acute infection
2. Prevention of further infection
3. Adequate investigation
4. Arrangement of further treatment
5. Follow up - Prevention of recurrence and
long-term complications

histologically of inflammatory infiltrates with eosinophils
– Treatment – antihistamines , NSAIDs
• Interstitial cystitis
– Irritative voiding symptoms + negative U/C
– Diagnosis by cystoscopic mucosal ulcers with bladder distention
– Treatments included bladder hydrodistention and laser ablation of
ulcerated areas, but no treatment yields sustained relief
63. Treatment Recommendations for Vesicoureteral Reflux
Diagnosed Following a Urinary Tract Infection
American Urological Association Pediatric Vesicoureteral Reflux Guidelines Panel Report
Editor's Notes
3-5% of girls and 1% of boys.
BOYS = more common in uncircumcised boys
UTIs are caused mainly by colonic bacteria
UTIs have been considered an important risk factor for the development of renal insufficiency or end-stage renal disease
Major anomalies = urinary diversion , neurogenic bladder, Catheter related
ความสำคัญของการวินิจฉัย และให้การรักษา UTI ในเด็ก เนื่องจาก UTI ในเด็กมีความเสี่ยงต่อ renal failure และ ESRD ในอนาคตได้
antireflux mechanism that prevents urine from flowing in a retrograde manner into the collecting tubules
Anatomic abnormality (e.g., labial adhesion)
The bladder uninhibited contractions forcing urine out (Overactive bladder)
high-pressure, turbulent urine flow or incomplete bladder emptying UTI
Voiding dysfunction
Toilet-trained child
Constipation
Obstructive uropathy Hydronephrosis Urinary stasis UTI
Upper UTI
Renal parenchyma involvement = Acute pyelonephritis
No parenchymal involvement = Pyelitis
Pyelonephritis(may result in renal injury, which is termed pyelonephritic scarring)
Cystitis does not cause fever and does not result in renal injury.
This condition is benign and does not cause renal injury
Some girls are mistakenly identified as having asymptomatic bacteriuria,
whereas they actually are symptomatic, experiencing day or night incontinence or perineal discomfort
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare type of renal infection characterized by granulomatous inflammation with giant cells and foamy histiocytes. It may present clinically as a renal mass or an acute or chronic infection. Renal calculi, obstruction, and infection with Proteus or E. coli contribute to the development of this lesion, which usually requires total or partial nephrectomy.
A urinalysis should be obtained from the same specimen as that cultured
Infection can occur in absence of pyuria
If the child is asymptomatic and the urinalysis result is normal unlikely urine infected
if the child is symptomatic, even if the urinalysis result is negative a UTI is possible,
Urine gram ถ้านำปัสสาวะไม่ปั่น พบเชื้อ 1 ตัว/ 1 HPF colonies > 10^5
Urine culture is necessary for confirmation and appropriate therapy.
Thus, the diagnosis of UTI depends on having the proper sample of urine.
- In uncircumcised males, the prepuce must be retracted; if the prepuce is not retractable, this method of urine collection is unreliable.
Catheterization - The use of a No. 5 French polyethylene feeding tube in infants or a No. 8 French tube with proper lubrication in older children minimizes the chance of urethral trauma and contamination
If the urine sits at room temperature for more than 60 min, overgrowth of a minor contaminant may suggest a UTI, when in fact the urine may not be infected. Catheterization shortly after spontaneous voiding produces a measure of the residual urine in the bladder and helps assess problems related to bladder emptying.
if a midstream culture grew between 104 and 105 colonies of a gram-negative organism, a second culture may be obtained by catheterization before treatment is initiated
Cystitis possible progression to pyelonephritis
Before the results of a culture and sensitivities are available Oral antibiotic treat Bactrim / Nitrofurantoin / Amoxy
Severe symptom Children who are dehydrated, are unable to drink fluids, or in whom sepsis is a possibility should be admitted to the hospital for intravenous rehydration and intravenous antibiotic therapy.
TMP/SMX bactrim against most strains of E. coli.
Nitrofurantoin being active against Klebsiella-Enterobacter organisms
contraindication in infant age < 1 mth Hemolysis in G6PD , Liver, Renal
The oral fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin is an alternative agent for resistant microorganisms, particularly Pseudomonas, in patients older than 17 yr
Short course with Pseudomonas UTI in child
However, the clinical use of fluoroquinolones in children should be restricted because of potential cartilage damage that occurred in research with immature animals. The safety and efficacy of oral ciprofloxacin in children is under study.
