Description
Understanding of the microbial infections of the kidney, urinary tract and urine has progressed significantly in recent times. Urologists, nephrologists and medical microbiologists have turned their attention to the study of virulence factors of bacteria causing urinary infection. For example, asymptomatic infections in certain patients, including schoolgirls, the elderly and females with biliary cirrhosis, may result in the long-term effects associated with renal damage if left untreated. By means of a series of up-to-date reviews, this book provides a practical guide to the investigation and effective management of urinary tract infections due to micro-organisms. Special problems concerning defined groups such as catheterized and transplant patients, pregnant women, children and the elderly are discussed and proposals for effective therapy are made. Screening procedures and details of the organisation of a clinic for patients with recurrent urinary infections are given.
