Urinary tract infection & Sexually transmitted diseases From: Dr. Swati Rai Assistant Professor ASMC,SULTANPUR,UP
Urinary Tract Infection Pyelonephritis Ureteritis Urethritis Cystitis Upper UTI Lower UTI Vesico-ureteral Reflux
Upper Urinary tract (Kidney, Ureter)- Less common but More dangerous, Long term therapy Lower Urinary tract (Bladder, Urethra)- More common but Less dangerous Short term therapy
Symptoms
Symptoms - ( S evere P ain D uring UTI ) S ystemic symptoms- myalgia, vomiting, weakness etc. P ain (Pelvic, Rectal, lower abdomen or renal angle) P ungent smell of urine D ysuria (Burning), D enies urination (Fear of Urination) D ischarge through urethra D iscoloration of urine (Haematuria, Pyuria, Haziness, Clouding) U rgency T emperature (Fever with chills) I ncomplete emptying (Retention) I ncontinence of urine
More common in Females- Anatomical differences Other part involved - Prostate, Epididymis More common if- S tones S trictures S tents (Urinary Catheter) S tructural abnormality S traight entry of ureter S exually active S tore urine (Faulty urinary habit) S urgical (abdomen) S canty fluid intake S emiconscious (Unconscious), S ite trauma,
Organisms- Mostly Gram Negative ( E.coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter,) Others- Staphylococcus, Viral, Fungal, … Single in acute, mixed in chronic Entry - Mostly from lower to upper ( Ascending ), Some times Directly from the surrounding sites or From blood (bacterimia)
Antiseptic agents for UTI UT antiseptics concentrated in urine Inhibit the growth of bacteria Systemic infection Can’t be used WHY? Effective concentration in plasma is not achieved.
pH matter : At pH 7.4 – No decomposition pH 6 - 6% formaldehyde pH 5 – 20% Acidification inc. Promotes formaldehyde formation Formaldehyde dependent antibacterial action
Decomposition reaction is slow 3hr require to reach 90% completion
Antimicrobial activity At concentration Formaldehyde (20microgm/ml) All bacteria are sensitive Urea splitting microorganism ( proteus ) Inc pH of urine Inhibit the release of formaldehyde
A – Orally 10%-30% decomposes in gastric juice So , drug should be protected by enteric coating At pH6 , Ur. Daily volume – 1000, 1500 ml ,daily dose of 2g yield Ur con. 18 -60 microgm /ml of formaldehyde
Low pH alone is bacteriostatic , so acidification serves a double function Acid commonly used - Mandelic acid, Hippuric acid C/I : Renal insufficiency Antagonism effect with SULFONAMIDE. So not combined
Use: Chronic suppresive t/t of UTIs E.coli S.aureus S.epidermis
Nitrofurantoin Synthetic nitrofuran Antimicrobial activity It is activated by enzymatic reduction Active against E.coli , enterococci Bacteriostatic -32microgm/ml Bacteriocidal – 100microgm/ml
A – Orally , rapidly T1/2 : 0.3 -1 hr 40% excreted unchanged into urine Dosage: 50-100mg Children: 5-7 mg/kg Course shouldn’t be exceed 4 days
C/I Pregnancy Individual with impaired renal function Crcl < 60ml/min Children < 1 mnth
Fosfomycin Phosphonic acid derivative Prevention & T/T of UTIs MOA: Inhibit MurA , an enolpyruvyl transferase that catalyze the initial step in bacterial cell wall synthesis E.coli , Enterococus , Proteus, Staphlococus , Saphrophyticus T1/2: 5-8hr
Uncomplicated UTI : 3g single dose Complicated UTI : 3g every other day for 3 dose 3g every 10 days for UTI prophylaxis S/E : GI distress Vaginitis Headache Dizziness
Antimicrobials- ----------------------- (Q-BACTS) Q uinolones -(Nalidixic acid, Norfloxacin……) B etalactams- Ampicillin/ Amoxicillin, A minogycosides- Gentamicin, Amikacin, … C ephalosporins- Third generation T etracyclines - S ulfonamides and Cotrimoxazole Other Antimicrobials- Chloramphenicol, Methicillin, Carbenicillin etc……..
Prophylaxis for UTI- Needed in Catherised, Uncorrectable anatomical abnormalities Inoperable prostate, Septicemia, Immuno-compromised, Trauma Note- In patients with impaired renal functions avoid Nitrofurnatoin, Nalidixic acid, Aminoglycosides, Potassium salt, and Acidifying agents
