Urosepsis usually develops from a community or nosocomial acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) or during the procedure of various urinary disease such ureterorenoscopy (URS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Urosepsis is associated with bacteriuria, Urosepsis due to manipulation during or after percuteneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or ureterorenoscopy (URS) or push bang stenting can be catastrophic despite prophylactie antibiotic coverage. This cross sectional study was carried out in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of July 2011 to June 2013. Sampling technique was purposive and sample size was 70. Among them 23 patients for PCNL and 47 patients for URS were selected by selection criteria. Data were collected by interview of the patients, clinical examinations and laboratory investigations using the research instrument. Data were processed and analyzed using software SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 11.5. Incidence of bacteriuria and urosepsis were measured according to urine and blood culture report. Sensitivity pattern was also observed. According to this study, the incidence of bacteriuria and urosepsis were 17.1% and 5.7% respectively, Of the 70 patients, 12(17.1%) exhibited bacterial growth on urine culture, These 12 patients were then subjected to blood culture and 4(33.3%) of them were found positive. Most (83.4%) of the urine and blood infections (75%) were caused by E. coli. Some widely used antibiotics like moxicillin, Cephalexin and Ciprofloxacin were found 100% resistant in urine culture. Few sensitive antibiotics were Tobramycin (100 %), Amikacin and Ceftazidime (75%). Almost same sensitivity pattern was found in blood culture. In urosepsis, as in other types of sepsis. Urosepsis after PCNL and URS is an important and potentially catastrophic complication. Percuteneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Ureterorenoscopy (URS) occurs frequently in this institution. Although the incidence of urosepsis and bacteriuria with resistant organism is low, but it is a burning issue in management in urology practice. The apparent increase in ciprofloxacin resistant organisms appears to be associated with the increased rate of ciprofloxacin resistant organisms are observed in the general population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
