Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Adolescent Medicine

Background:

  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, with gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli being frequent culprits.
  • Staphylococcus saprophyticus is increasingly recognized as a significant cause of UTIs in adolescents and young adult women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis, etiology, treatment, and complications of UTIs in adolescents.
  • To highlight the specific characteristics of UTIs caused by Staphylococcus saprophyticus in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of existing literature.
  • Analysis of clinical experience with adolescent UTIs at a pediatric nephrology department.

Main Results:

  • Lower urinary tract infection, hematuria, and dysuria were the most frequent symptoms associated with Staphylococcus saprophyticus UTIs.
  • Asymptomatic cases of Staphylococcus saprophyticus UTIs were also observed.
  • Pregnancy-associated UTIs can pose risks to maternal and fetal health.

Conclusions:

  • Urinary tract infections in adolescents require careful diagnosis and management.
  • Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a key pathogen to consider in adolescent UTIs, necessitating specific treatment and monitoring strategies.
