   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteriuria; Nursing Homes; Homes for the Aged; Urinary Tract Infections; Predictive Value of Tests; Dipstick Urinalysis; Interleukin-6; Drug Resistance; Bacterial.;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. Thus, it is difficult to know if new symptoms in residents with bacteriuria are caused by urinary tract infection (UTI), or if bacteriuria only represents an ABU. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and in particular Staphylococcus epidermidis have emerged as major pathogens primarily causing nosocomial infections in patients with indwelling medical devices. These infections are often caused by multidrug-resistant strains of S. epidermidis (MDRSE). LÄS MER

5. 24. Asymptomatic Bacteriuria. Protection against, and differential diagnosis towards symptomatic Urinary Tract Infection

   Författare :Fredrik Sundén; Helsingborg Kliniska Vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases in humans, with a subset of sus- ceptible individuals who experience recurrent episodes. e increase in antibiotic resistance in gram-negative uropathogens, due to antibiotic overuse, is a strong rationale for developing therapeutic alternatives and to improve diagnostics.

7. 25. Asymptomatic Bacteriuria in the Elderly

   Författare :Nils Rodhe; Lars Englund; Kurt Svärdsudd; Sigvard Mölstad; Anders Baerheim; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; family practice; aged 80 and over; E. coli; bacteriuria; urinary tract infections; urinary incontinence; leukocyte esterase; cytokines; Family medicine; Allmänmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to explore the features of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in elderly people living in the community, and to seek diagnostic tools to discriminate between ASB and symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI). All men and women aged 80 and over living in an urban district of Falun, Sweden, were invited to participate. LÄS MER
