“…The prevalence of UTI in relation to gender reveals that the female patients had a higher prevalence of 35 (27.0%) while the males had 26 (20.0%).The finding that females had higher prevalence of UTI than males agrees with earlier studies 24,25,26,27 . However, in this study, a statistically non significant association was observed in the prevalence of UTI between the males and the females (p > 0.05).Close proximity of the female urethral meatus to the anus, shorter urethra, and sexual intercourse, incontinence, bad toilet habits have all been reported as factors that influence the higher prevalence in females 11,25,28 .…”

Objective: This study is designed to determine the prevalence of Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Jos and its environs among HIV cohort. This is aimed at providing improved patient care and management.

Methods: 260 mid-stream urine samples were collected from HIV Sero-positive patients. Samples were cultured, isolates identified and antibiogram was carried out according to standard microbiological protocols.

Results: Of the 260 test samples screened, 61(23.5%) had UTIs. The study showed the presence of UTIs in all the age groups and the age group 46 and above had the highest prevalence .The study showed that females had a higher prevalence than males.UTIs were recorded in all the occupational groups considered, of which civil servants and business people had the highest. Marital status showed that the widowed had the highest rate followed by the married and then the singles. The distributions of the isolates were as follows: Escherichia coli 25(9.6%), Staphylococcus aureus 17(6.5%), Proteus mirabilis 7(2.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7(2.7%) and Klebsiella species 5(1.9%).The antibiogram showed that the antibiotics of choice were Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Augmentin in that order.

Conclusion: This study reveals that the bacterial uropathogens recovered are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella species .The antibiogram showed that the antibiotics of choice were Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Augmentin.

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Escherichia coli in asymptomatic bacteriuria among the students of Federal School of Medical Laboratory Technology, Jos.

Methods: Mid-stream urine samples from 213 students who consented were collected, cultured, isolates identified and antibiotic susceptibility test was carried out according to standard microbiological protocols.

Results: Of the 213 test samples screened, 9(4.2%) had asymptomatic bacteriuria. The study indicates that 9(4.2%) of the samples showed a significant count growth, 4(1.9%) had a non significant growth, while 199(93.4%) showed no growth. Of the 114 samples screened from female students, 9(7.9%) had significant bacteriuria, while of the 99 samples screened from the male counterparts non 0(0.0%) had significant bacteriuria. The bacterial isolates recovered in this study were Escherichia coli which had the highest with 6(66.7%) while Klebsiella species had the lowest with 3(33.3%).The distribution of microbial isolates recovered from the study shows that Escherichia coli had the highest prevalence of 6(60.0%), followed by Klebsiella species with 3(30.0%), while Candida species had 1(10.0%).The antibiotic susceptibility pattern for the Escherichia coli isolates reveals that all the 6(100%) isolates were susceptible to Nalidixic acid, Nitrofurantoin and Gentamycin, while Colistin Phosphate, Tetracycline and Streptomycin had 5(83.3%), 4(66.7%) and 1(16.7%) respectively. Ampicillin and Cotrimoxazole were resistant to all the Escherichia coli isolates.

Conclusion: Asymptomatic bacteriuria was recorded among the females, therefore this call for the need to create more awareness on prevention and control measures for UTIs among females. The antibiogram profile suggested possibilities of drug abuse.

“…For infants, moribund patients and children who were not toilet trained, suprapubic bladder aspiration (SPA) was used for obtaining the urine specimens. All urine specimens were obtained under aseptic procedures as described by Anochie et al, 9 as follows: each subject's external genitalia was cleaned, midstream urine was collected, stored in a refrigerator and then submitted to the laboratory within an hour of collection. This procedure was carried out in order to minimize bacterial contamination of the urine.…”

Abstract:Objective: This study aimed at determining the significance of pyuria as a screening test for UTI in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Methods: Two hundred and seventy-two children with SCA, aged 6 months to 15 years, were studied out of which 185 (68.0%) were in stable state and 87 (32.0%) were in crises. Their urine was assessed for microscopy culture and sensitivity. Significant pyuria and bacteriuria was determined using standard methods. Results: Significant bacteriuria was detected in 22 (8.1%) of the 272 subjects with SCA. The prevalence of significant bacteriuria was higher among those in crisis (18/87; 20.7%) than in those in steady state (4/185; 2.2%) and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 27.323, p = 0.001). Of the 22 SCA subjects with confirmed UTI, 19 (86.4%) had significant pyuria with a sensitivity of 86.4%, specificity of 68.8%, and positive predictive value of 19.6%. The most common bacterial isolates were Escherichia coli 11 (50.0%) while the least isolated were Salmonella typhi 1 (4.6%). Conclusion: This study indicates that pyuria as a screening test for UTI is not very specific but very sensitive necessitating a more test to be done for diagnosis of UTI.
