“…This conforms to a study by Mohamberry et al (1987) who also reported normal creatinine, urea and urates in schoolchildren infected with S. haematobium . However, a study in Egypt (Lehman et al , 1970), found evidence of functional renal impairment in a high proportion of patients, who showed bilateral obstructive uropathy on pyelography or bacterial infection, or both. In our case, these conditions were not investigated; however, more detailed studies on renal and liver function of infected subjects in endemic areas could assist in understanding the patho-physiological changes that may be manifested in patients infected with S. haematobium .…”

Generally, women residing in areas endemic for urinary schistosomiasis may suffer from female genital schistosomiasis which is acquired during childhood. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence and intensity of infection of Schistosoma haematobium in women of reproductive age (16-45 years) and to investigate whether S. haematobium had any effect on kidney function. A total of 394 women of known pregnancy status (158 pregnant and 236 non-pregnant) were recruited from five villages (known for their high prevalence of infection of S. haematobium) in Kwale County. Serum samples were analysed to determine levels of urea and creatinine as proxy indicators of kidney function. Data revealed that pregnant women did not, on average, have a higher prevalence or intensity of infection of urinary schistosomiasis than non-pregnant women. During pregnancy, the level of prevalence and intensity of infection of S. haematobium was highest in the first trimester (0-13 weeks), dropped in the second trimester (14-26 weeks) and rose again in the third trimester (27-40 weeks). In addition, 24.8% of women were infected with hookworm, while none were diagnosed with malaria parasites. Of 250 samples analysed for serum urea and creatinine, none had significant levels of pathology, either in pregnant or non-pregnant women. Despite World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations that pregnant women should be treated with praziquantel after the first trimester, in practice this has not been the case in many countries, including Kenya. In view of this, healthcare providers should be informed to consider treatment of pregnant women infected with schistosomiasis during antenatal visits and whenever there is mass drug administration as recommended by the WHO.

Abstract:We communicate this simple but informative report which describes an isolation of a rare variant of Salmonella paratyphi A from a known case of SLE in urine causing clinical and microbiological confusion in diagnosis. Urinary isolation of Salmonella often is unanticipated and a high index of suspicion is required for adequate therapy. Awareness of association between Salmonella spp. and SLE and the timely use of reference laboratories in India is highlighted.

“…Color and morphology on CHROMagar TM accurately differentiate Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp (6) . Chromogenic medium provides a reliable alternative to CLED medium and can be replaced as primary isolation media for urine culture in clinical laboratories (7) . There is no significant differences were found between the isolation rates of urinary pathogens on both CLED and chromogenic media (8) .…”

Chromogenic medium is culture media for simple and fast detection of bacteria using chromogenic substrates, resulting in the different coloration of certain bacteria colonies. Have several advantages over traditional media, such as cysteine-lactose-electrolyte deficient (CLED) medium, allow for easier recognition of mixed growth, save time, reduce workload and provides higher detection rates. To compare between chromogenic colour agar and biochemical tests in identification of organisms causing bacteriuria that associated with urinary Schistosomiasis. The study was conducted in Abu Rukba village in the White Nile State, Sudan. The study was carried out on the entire population of the village (1029 individuals) during the period of November 2011 and November 2013. Urine samples were collected from study population after having their informed consent, school staff and local administrators. A total of 1029 Mid-stream urine specimens were collected aseptically as possible, in a sterile wide mouth container in the morning and processed by the laboratory within 2 hours of collection, or were kept refrigerated at 4ºC until delivery to the laboratory and were processed no longer than 4 hours after collection. Each specimen was routinely processed using the centrifugation technique to detect Schistosoma and cultivated by using chromogenic agar and Cystine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient agar plate (CLED) then identified by biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility also was done. Bacterial culture for those who were positive for S. haematobium infection (594) revealed growth of Staphylococcus aureus in 116 urine samples (19.5%), Enterococcus faecalis in 57 (9.6%), Escherichia coli in 28 (4.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae in 20 (3.4%), Proteus species in 2 (0.4%) and mixed infection in 71 (11.9%). Comparing the chromogenic media results with the biochemical reaction results, 95.5% of all isolates were recovered on both. The remaining 4.5% of isolates were different by both tests. Chromogenic medium provided a reliable alternative to CLED medium and biochemical tests for the routine culture of urine specimens.
