2. 1. Urinary tract infection in small children: aspects of bacteriology, vesicoureteral reflux and renal damage

   Author : Svante Swerkersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Children; Urinary tract infection; Vesicoureteral reflux; Renal damage; Bacterial count; Recurrence; Antibiotic resistance; Urine sampling;

   Abstract : Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a prevalent bacterial infection in children. The diagnosis is based on growth of bacteria in urine specimen and treatment is chosen out of knowledge of the present antimicrobial resistance situation. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a well-known risk factor for UTI in children. READ MORE

4. 2. Children with symptomatic urinary tract infection in Göteborg 1970-79 followed for two decades

   Author : Martin Wennerström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; vesicoureteral reflux; renal scarring; children; adults; renal function; hypertension; ambulatory blood pressure; atrial natriuretic peptide;

   Abstract : Objective: To study a populationbased cohort of subjects, detected after their first known urinary tract infection (UTI) with special focus on: the natural course of vesicoureteral reflux; the prevalence of renal scarring, age at detection and factors of importance for its development; the long term risk of impaired renal function and hypertension. Methods: Analyses of data, prospectively registered during childhood, and an adulthood follow-up investigation evaluating renal function by 51Cr-EDTA clearance and blood pressure by 24-hour ambulatory technique.

5. 3. Role of Neutrophils and Innate Immune Mechanisms in Urinary Tract Infections

   Author : Björn Frendéus; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; Mucosal immunology; Infection Resistance; Neutrophils; Toll-like receptors; Urinary Tract Infections; Chemokine receptors; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common infections in man. Despite their prevalence, information on the molecular mechanisms defects that explain the increased susceptibility to disease are lacking. READ MORE

6. 4. Urinary Clara cell protein and alpha 1-microglobulin – biomarkers of changes in kidney and airway function

   Author : Lena Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : biomarker; Clara cell 16 kDa protein CC16 ; alpha 1-microglobulin A1M ; ambient air pollution; renal function; pyelonephritis; children;

   Abstract : Validated biomarkers are useful tools for screening large populations. The benefit of screening may be improved risk assessment or early indications of adverse effects before detection or onset of symptoms. READ MORE

7. 5. Influence of host genetics on innate immunity and susceptibility to urinary tract infection

   Author : Bryndis Ragnarsdottir; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophils; IRF3; Innate Immunity; urinary tract infections; acute pyelonephritis; asymptomatic bacteriuria; Toll-like receptor 4; CXCR1; TLR4 adaptors; polymorphisms;

   Abstract : It has been known for a long time that the clinical manifestations of urinary tract infections (UTI) differ markedly between individuals, ranging from a sometimes beneficial, asymptomatic state to life threatening infections. This variability in clinical manifestation can be explained in part by the arsenal of virulence factors of the bacteria but the predisposition of the patient is equally important. READ MORE
