Antibiotherapy is the treatment of choice for the urinary tract infections in hospitalized urological patients. Antibiotic associated diarrhea (ADD) caused by the Clostridium difficile cytotoxin producer represents one of the most severe side effects of the antibiotic treatment. It is important to evaluate the risk factors for a hospitalized patient to develop a C. difficile healthcare associated infection during hospitalization in order to put in practice effective preventive measures. The aim of the study is to analyzed the risk factors associated with the demographic status: age, sex, and also risk factors related to healthcare conditions: use of antibiotics (number, type, duration of treatment), other significant medication taken prior to the onset of diarrhea (histamine-2-receptor antagonists and proton-pump inhibitors, comorbidities, possible contamination from other in-patients who developed ADD in the same period and data about in-hospital mortality.

Non complicated acute urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial diseases in the human species. More than 150 million UTIs (non complicated/complicated) are, in fact, annually diagnosed and treated worlwide (Sobel Kaye, 1990; Stamm and Hooton, 1993; Stamm, 1998; Stamm and Norrby, 2001; Foxman, 2002). UTI include cystitis and pyelonephritis (the latter is not discussed in this paper) that occur in individuals without morphological-functional alterations of the excretory tract. This disease is more common in female and/or in menopause patients. 25-50% of the individuals in this population, aged between 20 and 40 years, can be affected by UTI at least once in a lifetime and can be prone to more or less frequent relapses. (Johnson, 1998; Stamm, 2001). Male subjects are less frequently affected by UTI, but when affected, they experience more serious episodes often representing a warning signal of anatomical alterations of the urinary apparatus or the presence of risk factors.......

<strong>Introduction:</strong> Urinary tract infection is the most common infectious complication following renal transplantation and its frequency is insufficiently studied in Portugal. The aim of this study was to characterize the incidence of urinary tract infections and recurrent urinary tract infections in renal transplant recipients.<br /><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective cohort observational study, obtained from clinical files of all patients who received a renal transplant at the Hospital of Santa Cruz, from January 2004 to December 2005, with a mean follow-up period of five years or until date of graft loss, death or loss of follow-up. After a descriptive analysis of the population, we used bivariate tests to identify risk factors for urinary tract infections.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 127 patients were included, with a 593 patients.year follow-up. We detected 53 patients (41.7%) presenting with at least one episode of urinary tract infection; 21 patients (16.5%) had recurrent urinary tract infection. Female gender was the only risk factor associated with the occurrence of urinary tract infections (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 7.08, RR = 2.95) and recurrent urinary tract infections (p &lt; 0.001, OR = 4.66, RR = 2.83). Escherichia coli (51.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (15.5%) and Enterobacter spp (9.9%) were the<br />most frequently identified pathogens. Patients did not reveal an increased mortality or allograft loss. However, urinary tract infections were the most important cause of hospital admissions.<br /><strong>Discussion:</strong> Female gender was the only risk factor for urinary tract infections in this population. Escherichia coli was the most frequent agent isolated.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Despite preventive measures, urinary tract infections remain an important cause of morbidity and hospital admissions.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Urinary Tract Infections; Postoperative Complications; Risk Factors; Kidney Transplantation; Portugal.
