Abstract

Introduction


Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most frequent community-acquired infection worldwide between 1 year and 50 years of age. UTI and recurrent UTI are predominantly disease of females. In uncomplicated UTIs, E. coli is the leading organism, though other bacteria, viruses or fungi may be the cause.


Methodology


In present study 212 patients included from Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics & Gynaecology Department over one year period.


Result


Total 55.18% patients were in age group of more than 18 years up to 35 years. 66.98% were female patients. Average per capita per month income was 1516.80 ± 319.31. The mean hospital stay was 3.99 ± 1.07 days. 95.28% patients had acute UTI, 83.96% had uncomplicated UTI and 91.03% had lower UTI. 53.77% patients had uncomplicated lower UTI. 19.33% antenatal patients had UTI. Overall Escherichia coli accounted for 80.95% of all isolates.


Conclusion


The choice of empirical initial antimicrobial therapy is significantly affected by uropathogen prevalences according to age, gender and socioeconomic status.
