[Statistics of urological infections in the hospital environment]

A review is made of the clinical histories of 1,821 patients admitted to our Department for treatment over a three-year-period and on the basis of the data compiled, the doctors have made a statistical study of urinary infections, by determining the type of germ, etiology of the process and level of sensitivity to the different antibiotics and chemiotherapeutic drugs and by analysing, at the same time, the inference between the different parameters considered. Of the results presented, they stress that the practical erradication of E. coli as an infecting agent in our medium, is significant, as well as the probable existence of an epidemiological cycle lasting for periods of twenty one months although this has still to be confirmed by means of longer chronological series.
