Evaluation of patients treated for urogenital infections in the past year at our department
Abstract
Objective: To identify predisposing factors and microorganisms which are the causes of urogenital infections in the past year at our department and to assess urogenital infections with the literature.
Material and Methods: The datas were recorded of patients who were treated for urogenital infections between 2015 August and 2016 August in terms of predisposing factors, microorganisms and symptoms.
Results: The ages of patients ranged from 9 to 89. Causative microorganisms were detected in 52 patients by culture results. 66 patients had one or more predisposing factor. It was detected that 17 of our patients were treated for urosepsis.
Conclusion: Predisposing factors can facilitate development of urogenital infections. These infections can rapidly turn to urosepsis if patients do not treated properly. So, patients with predisposing factors should be treated rapidly with proper treatment to prevent development of urosepsis.
