“…The infection is alarming due to the unique pathogenesis of the virus that decreases the CD 4 cells, signaling the emergence of the opportunistic infections, in the host [1,4,19] . Among the opportunistic infections, Urinary tract infections accounts for 60% of the AIDS defining illness [3] . Their relative importance differs in different parts of the world [3,4,14] .…”

“…Among the opportunistic infections, Urinary tract infections accounts for 60% of the AIDS defining illness [3] . Their relative importance differs in different parts of the world [3,4,14] . The present study was undertaken to note the prevalence of various bacterial isolates of urinary tract of HIV reactive patients among both female and male in different age groups and attempt was made to specifically examine antibiogram of selected urinary isolates in HIV reactive as well as HIV non reactive patients by Kirby Bauer method [8,13,15] .…”

“…The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the most important public health problem of 20th century [3] . Though HIV infections made delayed into India, its spread has been very rapid and at present India hast the distinction of having the largest number of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the world [2,19] .…”

Problem statement: This study was designed to document the prevalence of HIV associated urinary tract infections in Barshi Tahsil. Such studies had not been researched out before in this region. Approach: The study included samples from 123 HIV reactive and 40 HIV non-reactive patients. In both, mid stream samples were collected and processed to examine for bacterial opportunistic pathogens. The antibiogram of selected urinary isolates in HIV reactive as well as HIV non-reactive patients was studied by using disc diffusion technique and Kirby Bauer method. Study regarding molecular approach is in progress. Results: Urine samples from 75.46% of HIV reactive and 24.54% of HIV non reactive patients were culture positive. In all there were 74 urinary isolates from the HIV reactive cases. About (36.48%) were E. coli, (31.10%) were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and (24%) were Klebsiella. These urinary isolates were found in different age groups of both male and female but more number of isolates was found in female as compared to male. In addition, E. coli and Klebsiella were predominant in female and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found predominant in male. The antibiogram of selected urinary isolates in HIV reactive as well as HIV non-reactive patients indicates that urinary isolates in HIV reactive patients were more drug resistant than HIV non-reactive patients. Conclusion: The isolation of urinary opportunistic pathogens among the HIV reactive patients was found to be significantly higher than in HIV nonreactive patients. Also the antibiogram of urinary opportunistic pathogens in HIV reactive patients was significant finding indicating severity of the infection in this group.

“…Another immunosuppressive condition with a higher prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria is the infection with HIV (Awolude et al, 2011). Several studies suggest a correlation between low CD4+ counts and the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (Awolude et al, 2011, De Pinho et al, 1994, Hoepelman et al, 1992. No articles were identified addressing the use of antibiotic treatment for this patient population.…”

“…A similar study was conducted by Schonwald et al [9] where the frequency of UTI in HIV-positive individuals was 16%. In the study of De Pinho et al, UTI in AIDS patients versus asymptomatic HIVpositive individuals was 13.3% versus 3.2% [10]. According to Santos et al, bacteriuria was significantly more frequent among AIDS patients (7.6%) than control group of HIV-negative individuals (0.91%) [11].…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the variations, if any, in urinary bacterial pathogens in HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals.Methods: Urine sample, macroscopic and microscopic examination for identification of bacteria use by method of Standard loop method, using identification methods, Grams-staining, Biochemical tests. Results:Out of 75 HIV-positive males, 52 males were married, 23 males were unmarried; risk factors are sexually 28, occupationally majority were labor, 31, age group more in 19-25 age, only 9 HIV-positive patients presented with symptoms of urinary tract infection, Escherichia coli was the most frequently occurring bacterial isolate from positive urine culture followed by Klebsiella spp. Conclusion:The study period of 1 year and 8 months revealed that it is difficult to locate/identify an HIV-positive person in a place like Kadapa on account of confidentiality/lack of awareness among the population. Having identified the HIV-positive cases, collection of urine samples from the patients also needed counseling and intervention by the respective clinicians, especially when patients were not having any symptoms. Out of 50 HIVnegative individuals, only 1 (2%) urine sample is showing significant bacteriuria.
