Non-typhoidal Salmonella causing urinary tract infection in a young male with renal calculi - a case report and comprehensive review. Access Microbiol 2023; 5:000610.v5. [PMID: 38188244 PMCID: PMC10765044 DOI: 10.1099/acmi.0.000610.v5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes urinary tract infections infrequently and are usually associated with presence of genitourinary abnormalities. Case presentation We report a case of immunocompetent male in his early 20 s with phimosis presented with history of dysuria and burning micturition for 4 months. A renal ultrasonography showed presence of bilateral intrarenal calculi. Urine analysis revealed presence of non-typhoidal Salmonella. Automated identification systems performed poorly in identification of serotype. On serotyping, it was identified as Salmonella enteritidis in the referral centre. The patient was managed with oral antibiotics. Conclusion This report highlights the issues of inaccurate identification of NTS even with advanced automated systems and early initiation of therapy based on the knowledge of local susceptibility patterns. UTI in immunocompetent individuals by non-typhoidal Salmonella should always be investigated further to rule out genitourinary abnormalities and appropriate antibiotics must be started to avoid chronicity and complications.

The role of circumcision in preventing urinary tract infections in children with antenatal hydronephrosis: Systematic review and meta-analysis. J Pediatr Urol 2023; 19:766-777. [PMID: 37563014 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2023.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Circumcision has been reported to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in boys with antenatal hydronephrosis (HN). Our aim was to compare the incidence of UTIs in circumcised vs. uncircumcised boys with antenatal HN by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. STUDY DESIGN A comprehensive search was performed until December 2022. Comparative studies were evaluated according to Cochrane collaboration recommendations. Assessed measures included: UTIs, continuous antibiotic prophylaxis (CAP) use, renal outcomes, and circumcision complications. Odds ratios (OR) and mean difference with 95% confidence interval (CI) were extrapolated from available data. Random-effects meta-analysis were performed. RESULTS Twenty-three studies describing 9093 boys with antenatal HN were identified, including 4677 uncircumcised and 4416 circumcised boys. Overall effect estimates demonstrate that circumcised boys have significantly reduced odds of developing any UTI [OR 0.26, 95%CI 0.21, 0.32; p < 0.001]]. In addition, there a significantly reduced odds of developing UTI when circumcised and on CAP [OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.13, 0.30; p < 0.001]. When stratifying by etiology, circumcision reduced the odds of UTI in boys with isolated HN [OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.16, 0.68; p = 0.003], vesicoureteral reflux [OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.13, 0.42; P < 0.00001], or with posterior urethral valves [OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.13, 0.64; p = 0.002]. DISCUSSION Circumcision reduces the incidence of UTIs in boys with antenatal HN. This review is limited by the varied definitions of UTIs and inconsistent reporting on HN etiology, renal outcomes, and circumcision complications. CONCLUSIONS Circumcision should be considered in boys with antenatal HN to prevent the risk of developing UTI. Further research is warranted to individualize the prophylactic role of circumcision for patients with HN.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection (UTI) is more prevalent in boys with antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH). Circumcision is known to lessen the risk of UTI. This study was performed to examine the associations between circumcision and UTI among patients with ANH. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses standards were followed for conducting this systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched through August 4th, 2022 to identify eligible studies. The risk of bias was measured using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Review manager 5.4 was used for all analysis. RESULTS A total of 21 studies involving 8,968 patients with ANH were included in the meta-analysis. The incidences of UTI were 18.1% in the uncircumcised group and 4.9% in the circumcised group. From analysis, circumcision had significant protective effect against UTI with pooled OR of 0.28 (95% CI 0.23-0.32). The significant protective effects were also found in subgroup analysis of hydronephrosis etiology, including vesicoureteral reflux (pooled OR of 0.24; 95% CI 0.17-0.32), obstructive hydronephrosis (pooled OR of 0.34; 95% CI 0.21-0.53), and posterior urethral valve (pooled OR of 0.28; 95% CI 0.16-0.52). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis showed that circumcision was associated with a decreased incidence of UTI in children with ANH. This benefit was consistent irrespective of the underlying cause of hydronephrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Boys with posterior urethral valves (PUVs) have an increased risk of febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs). Circumcision is believed to reduce the risk of fUTIs in boys, although there are no randomized trials demonstrating this. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of circumcision on the risk of fUTIs in boys with PUVs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A clinical randomized trial that ran between August 2012 and July 2017 was conducted. The trial was multicentric, including 13 referral centers for pediatric urology. Male boys, aged 1-28 d, diagnosed with posterior urethral valves, confirmed by voiding cystogram, were included. The exclusion criteria included presence of a genital malformation contraindicating performing a circumcision. INTERVENTION Participants were randomized to neonatal circumcision + antibiotic prophylaxis (CATB) or antibiotic prophylaxis alone (ATB), and followed for 2 yr. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The primary outcome was a risk of presenting fUTIs in each group. An fUTI was defined as fever (>38.5 °C) with evidence of pyuria and culture-proven infection on urinalysis, obtained by urethral catheterization or suprapubic aspiration. A bivariate analysis of the primary outcome was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS In total, 91 patients were included: 49 in group CATB and 42 in group ATB. The probability of presenting an fUTI was 20% in group ATB versus 3% in group CATB. The hazard ratio of presenting an fUTI within 2 yr in the ATB group compared with that in the CATB group was 10.3 (95% confidence interval: 1.3-82.5). Sixty-four children (70.3%) had a complete follow-up at 2 yr of age. CONCLUSIONS Circumcision significantly decreases the risk of presenting an fUTI in boys with PUVs. PATIENT SUMMARY In this report, we compared, in a multicentric trial, the number of febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) in boys with posterior urethral valves who had either antibiotic prophylaxis alone or antibiotic prophylaxis and circumcision. We found that those who had a circumcision had a significantly lower risk of febrile UTIs.

Yang SS, Tsai JD, Kanematsu A, Han CH. Asian guidelines for urinary tract infection in children. J Infect Chemother 2021; 27:1543-1554. [PMID: 34391623 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiac.2021.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The followings are the level of evidence (LE) and grade of recommendation (GR) on pediatric UTI in Asia. Classification according to the sites of infection (lower versus upper tract), the number of episode (first versus recurrent), the severity (simple versus severe), or the existence of complicating factor (uncomplicated versus complicated) is useful to differentiate children with UTI whether they are at risk of renal damage or not (LE: 2, GR: B). Diagnosis of UTI requires both urinalysis that suggests infection and positive urine culture (LE:3, GR B). For pre-toilet trained children, urine specimen for culture should be collected by urethral catheterization or suprapubic aspiration. For toilet trained children, midstream clean catch urine is reliable (LE: 3, GR: A). Urine culture is considered positive if it demonstrates growth of a single bacterium with the following colony counts: (1) any growth by suprapubic aspiration, (2) >5 × 104 CFU/ml by urethral catheterization, or (3) >105 CFU/ml by midstream clean catch (LE:3, GR: B). For children with febrile UTI, renal and bladder ultrasonography (RBUS) should be routinely performed as soon as possible (LE: 3, GR: C). RBUS should be followed up 6 months later in children with acute pyelonephritis and/or VUR (LE: 3, GR: C). Acute DMSA scan can be performed when severe acute pyelonephritis or congenital hypodysplasia is noted on RBUS or when the diagnosis of UTI is in doubt by the clinical presentation (LE: 3, GR: C). Late DMSA scan (>6 months after the febrile UTI) can be performed in children with severe acute pyelonephritis, high-grade VUR, recurrent febrile UTIs, or abnormal renal parenchyma on the follow-up RBUS (LE: 3, GR: C). Top-down or bottom-up approach for febrile UTI is suggested for the diagnosis of VUR. For top-down approach, VCUG should not be performed routinely for children after the first febrile UTI. VCUG is indicated when abnormalities are apparent on either RBUS or DMSA scan or both (LE: 2, GR: B). VCUG is also suggested after a repeat febrile UTI (LE:2, GR: B). Appropriate antibiotic should be given immediately after urine specimen for culture has been obtained (LE:2, GR: A). Initiating therapy with oral or parenteral antibiotics is equally efficacious for children (>3 months) with uncomplicated UTI (LE: 2: GR: A). The choice of empirical antibiotic agents is guided by the expected pathogen and the local resistance patterns (LE: 2, GR: A). For children with febrile UTI, the total course of antibiotic therapy should be 7-14 days (LE: 2, GR: B). Circumcision may, but not definitively, reduce the risk of febrile UTI in males and breakthrough febrile UTI in males with VUR. Circumcision should be offered to uncircumcised boys with febrile UTI and VUR in countries where circumcision is accepted by the general population (LE: 3, GR: B), while in countries where childhood circumcision is rarely performed, other measures for febrile UTI/VUR should be the preferred choice (LE: 4, GR: C). Bladder bowel dysfunction (BBD) is one of the key factors of progression of renal scarring (LE: 2). Early recognition and management of BBD are important in prevention of UTI recurrence (LE:2, GR: A). Antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent recurrent febrile UTI is indicated in children with moderate to high grade (III-V) VUR (LE: 1b, GR: A). Surgical intervention may be used to treat VUR in the setting of recurrent febrile UTI because it has been shown to decrease the incidence of recurrent pyelonephritis (LE: 2, GR: B).
