Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction

838
Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

532
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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Nails01:05

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Nails

3.7K
Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.
The main components of a nail include the following.
Nail Plate: The nail plate is the visible portion of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips or toes. It is a hard, translucent...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal infections
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious diseases

Background:

  • Paronychia, an infection of the nail folds, is uncommon in neonates, especially those under two weeks old.
  • Trauma leading to nail fold inoculation is a primary risk factor.
  • Oral self-soothing behaviors in infants can introduce different bacterial pathogens compared to adults.

Observation:

  • This case report describes a rare instance of paronychia in a neonate.
  • The infection was caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Findings:

  • Management involved incision and drainage, alongside antibiotic therapy.
  • The neonate's paronychia resolved with the implemented treatment strategies.

Implications:

  • Neonates engaging in oral self-soothing may have increased risk for paronychia, potentially involving mixed anaerobic and aerobic infections.
  • Broad-spectrum antibiotics like amoxicillin/clavulanate or clindamycin are recommended for initial therapy.
  • Combined surgical drainage and antibiotic treatment are effective for neonatal paronychia.
