The Results of the Study of Microbiologic Pattern of the Urinary Tract Infection in Children from Kyiv and Kyiv Region
Journal Title: Нирки - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 16
Abstract
The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the species composition of microbial pathogens of the urinary tract infection according to the results of urine culture and their sensitivity to antibiotics of different classes in children with the active stage of the disease (mainly with pyelonephritis), who were treated in the nephrology unit of Kyiv Children’s City Hospital № 1 in 2009–2014. A consistently high sensitivity (94.1 %) and low resistance (3.2 %) of Escherichia coli strains to a modern derivative of nitrofuran — furazidin K (Furamag) has been shown compared with other classes of antibacterial agents. The findings correspond with the international literature data and allow us to recommend this drug for empiric therapy of uncomplicated infections of the urinary system in children.
