Q

Host Factors contribuiting to UTI

  • Sex
A
  • Females (2-4 folds higher)
  • This may be the result of the shorter female urethra.
    Because the incidence of UTI in male neonates is as high, if not higher, than female neonates

Q

Sensitivity & Specificity in Nitrite

A
  • 50%
  • 98% (Highly specific & low false +ve rate)
22
Q

Microscopic Examination in UTI

A
23
Q

Def of Pyuria

A
24
Q

Sensitivity of Pyuria

A

Sensitivity is 89 % which means it suggests infection, but infection can occur in absence of pyuria

25
Q

Specifity of Pyuria

A

Presence of WBCs in urine is not specific for UTI as pyuria can be present without UTI

26
Q

Causes of Sterile Pyuria (False Positive)

A
  • Renal TB
  • Urethritis
  • Inflammation near the bladder (appendicitis, Chrons disease)
  • Intestinal nephritis
27
Q

True UTI without +ve leukocyte esterase on dipstick analysis and > 5 WBC/HPF with standardized microscopy is …….

A

unusual

28
Q

Absence of pyuria in presence of significant bacteriuria may occur in …..

A
  • Early in the course of UTI (before the local inflammatory response develops
  • Bacterial contamination of the urine sample (e.g. from the urethra or periurethral)
  • Colonization of the urinary tract (e.g. asymptomatic bacteriuria)
29
Q

Pyuria & Bacteruria association

A
30
Q

….. is the gold standard for the diagnosis of UTI.

A

Urine culture

31
Q

Urine culture should be performed in the following groups, even if the dipstick and microscopic analysis are negative:

A
32
Q

Urine culture interpretation in UTI

A
33
Q

Imaging in Dx of UTI

  • value of US
A
34
Q

VCUG in UTI

  • Time
A

3-6 weeks after infection but can be done after completing of antibiotic therapy

35
Q

VCUG in UTI

  • Prophylactic Antibiotics
A
  • Prophylactic oral antibiotics should be given for 3 days with VCUG taking place on the 2nd day
36
Q

VCUG in UTI

  • Uses
A
37
Q

Technique of Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy in UTI

A
38
Q

What is the gold standard test for diagnosing acute pyelonephritis and renal scars?

A

Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy

39
Q

DMSA in UTI

  • Disadvantages
A

However, it doesn’t distinguish lesions that will spontaneously resolve from those which cause renal scarring

40
Q

DMSA in UTI

  • How to overcome the drawbacks?
A

Thus, a delay of 4 - 6 months is needed following acute pyelonephritis to allow acute reversible lesions to resolve in order to diagnose renal scarring

41
Q

TTT of UTI

  • Goals
A
42
Q

TTT of UTI

  • Hygeinic Measures
A
43
Q

TTT of UTI

  • Oral Antibiotics

TTT of UTI

  • For pyelonephritis
A
46
Q

TTT of UTI

  • For Cystitis
A
47
Q

Suppressive Therapy in UTI

  • Indications
A

VUR → Till reflux resolves especially in children < 5 years of age.

48
Q

Suppressive Therapy in UTI

  • Duration
A

Antibiotic prophylaxis is continued for up to 6 months after surgical correction of VUR.

49
Q

Suppressive Therapy in UTI

  • Drugs
A
50
Q

DOC for suppressive therapy in UTI in first 3 months of life

A

Cephalexin

51
Q

Prognosis of UTI

A
  • Recurrent UTI
  • HTN
  • Renal scarring
