Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

842
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

434
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Clinical Microbiology

Background:

  • Osteomyelitis (OM) is a serious bone infection.
  • Understanding its incidence and characteristics is crucial for effective management.
  • Tertiary hospitals serve as key centers for diagnosing and treating complex cases like OM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of osteomyelitis (OM).
  • To analyze the clinical and microbiological features of OM.
  • To identify risk factors and treatment outcomes in a Spanish tertiary hospital.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of all diagnosed OM cases from January 2007 to December 2010.
  • Data collection included demographics, risk factors, affected bone, radiographic and histologic findings, microbiology, and treatment.
  • Analysis of epidemiological, clinical, and microbiological variables.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-three cases of OM were diagnosed, with 58.7% being chronic and 41.3% acute.
  • The majority of cases (77.8%) resulted from contiguous infection, while 22.2% were hematogenous.
  • Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequent causative microorganism.

Conclusions:

  • Osteomyelitis predominantly impacts patients with vascular disease-related risk factors.
  • Antibiotic therapy should be tailored to specific microbial susceptibility patterns.
  • Surgical intervention is frequently necessary in conjunction with antibiotic treatment for successful management of OM.
