“…Chi-square test reveals a statistically significant relationship between HIV status and UTI (χ 2 =6.310, df=1, 0.01<p<0.02). 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].…”

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.

“…UTIs are an important health problem in HIV-infected persons, where the incidence is between 5% and 20 % 12 .Studies have shown that the incidence of UTIs is greater among men and women infected with HIV than among men and women who are sero-negative for HIV 10,12 . This increased risk of bacteriuria correlates with the degree of immunosuppression, as reflected by the CD4 count.…”

“…Most studies have demonstrated increased susceptibility to UTIs in HIV-infected patients with CD4 count of <200 lymphocytes/mm 3 . 10,12,13 Some studies have indicated that the risk of bacteriuria and UTI may be increased in HIV-infected patients and is inversely related to CD4+ lymphocyte counts 6,14 . UTI in HIV-positive patients tends to recur, requiring longer treatment and it is suggested that treatment should be culture-specific 14 .…”

Objective: This study is designed to determine the prevalence of Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Jos and its environs among HIV cohort. This is aimed at providing improved patient care and management.

Methods: 260 mid-stream urine samples were collected from HIV Sero-positive patients. Samples were cultured, isolates identified and antibiogram was carried out according to standard microbiological protocols.

Results: Of the 260 test samples screened, 61(23.5%) had UTIs. The study showed the presence of UTIs in all the age groups and the age group 46 and above had the highest prevalence .The study showed that females had a higher prevalence than males.UTIs were recorded in all the occupational groups considered, of which civil servants and business people had the highest. Marital status showed that the widowed had the highest rate followed by the married and then the singles. The distributions of the isolates were as follows: Escherichia coli 25(9.6%), Staphylococcus aureus 17(6.5%), Proteus mirabilis 7(2.7%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7(2.7%) and Klebsiella species 5(1.9%).The antibiogram showed that the antibiotics of choice were Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Augmentin in that order.

Conclusion: This study reveals that the bacterial uropathogens recovered are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella species .The antibiogram showed that the antibiotics of choice were Gentamycin, Nitrofurantoin and Augmentin.

“…19,20 The most common bacterial cause of UTIs in patients with HIV is Enterococcus faecalis. 21 Other pathogens that can cause UTIs in patients with HIV areEscherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Proteus spp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, group D streptococci, Serratia spp. and Salmonella spp.…”
