Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection encountered in pediatric age group. The incidence varies with age, being more prevalent among boys during infancy and later on in girls. It generally resolves with proper antibiotic treatment. However certain part of pediatric population is at high risk of developing recurrent UTI due to its high association with urinary tract malformation. Recurrent UTI is known to be associated with long term consequences – renal parenchymal damage and scarring due to presence of infection in anatomical malformations.Long term antimicrobial prophylaxis is usually considered with an aim to sterilize urine to prevent from recurrence. But its utility is declining due to emergence of increasing number of multi drug resistant bacteria and poor compliance to treatment. These issues have led to a continuous exploration of different modes of alternative therapy. Thus an attempt has been made in this review paper toformulate more efficacious and safe Ayurvedic herbal management in context with Recurrent UTI.
