|6 |BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK |
| | |
| |6.1) NEED FOR THE STUDY: |
| | |
| |A urinary tract infection (UTI), also called bladder infection, is a bacterial inflammation in the urinary tract.1 |
| |UTIs account for approximately 10 percent of office visits by women, and 15 percent of women will have a UTI at some |
| |time during their life. In pregnant women, the incidence of UTI can be as high as 8 percent.2, |
| | |
| |During pregnancy, bacterial growth is favored by the increased urinary content of amino acids, vitamins and other |
| |nutrients, which encourage the persistence of infection. Slowing of urine flow secondary to dilation of the urinary |
| |tract, which may be caused by hormonal and mechanical factors, can add to this effect.3 |
| | |
| |Escherichia coli is the most frequent pathogen, being reported in about 70-95% of cases. Other enterobacteriace and |
| |group B streptococci cause bacteriuria in pregnancy and several reports showed that Micrococcaceae are |
| |significalnt urinary tract pathogens in non-pregnant women.3 |
| | |
| |UTI in pregnancy may result in low birth weight infants, premature delivery and occasionally stillbirth. It also causes|
| |pre-eclampsia, hypertension, anemia, & postpartum endometritis .3 |
| | |
| |It is well documented that effective treatment of UTI’s significantly reduces the incidence of pyelonephritis, |
| |premature deliveries & low birth weight infants.3 |
| | |
| |The practice of prescription of antibacterial drugs in pregnancy varies in different countries. |
| |Apart from economic arguments, the problem of selecting an antibacterial agent for treatment in pregnancy is the |
| |possible conflict between a well established drug that is well tolerated and empirically known to be harmless to the |
| |fetus, and a drug to which there is a low level of bacterial resistance3. |
| | |
| |So this study aims to know the prescribing pattern of antimicrobials in UTI patients in KIMS hospital. |
| | |
| |6.2) REVIEW OF LITERATURE |
| |The term urinary tract infection (UTI) usually refers to the presence of organisms in the urinary tract together with |
| |symptoms, and some times signs, of inflammation. However it is more precise to use one of the following terms: |
| |Significant bacteriuria: defined as the presence of at least 1,00,000 bacteria per ml of urine. |
| |Asymptomatic bacteriuria: significant bacteria in the absence of symptoms in the patient. |
| |Cystitis: a syndrome of frequency, dysuria and urgency, which usually suggests infection restricted to the lower |
| |urinary tract (i.e. the bladder and urethra). |
| |Pylonephritis: an infection of one or both kidneys. |
| |Relapse and reinfection: recurrence of urinary tract infection may be due to either relapse or reinfection. Relapse is |
| |recurrence caused by the same organism that caused the original infection. Reinfection is recurrence caused by a |
| |different organism, and is therefore a new infection.4 |
| |Pregnant women are at increased risk for UTIs. Hydronephrosis of pregnancy, increased bladder volume and decreased |
| |bladder tone, along with decreased ureteral tone, contribute to increased urinary stasis and ureterovesical reflux. Up |
| |to 70 percent of pregnant women develop glycosuria, which encourages bacterial growth in the urine. Increases in |
| |urinary progestins and estrogens may lead to a decreased ability of the lower urinary tract to resist invading |
| |bacteria. This decreased ability may be caused by decreased ureteral tone or possibly by allowing some strains of |
| |bacteria to selectively grow. These factors may all contribute to the development of UTIs during pregnancy.2 |
| |A survey of physicians in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden confirmed that beta-lactam antibiotics (particularly |
| |Pivmecillinam) and Nitrofurantoin are the drugs of first choice in the treatment of bacteriuria in pregnancy. No |
| |teratogenic effects have been associated with these agents. In contrast to Nitrofurantoin, Pivmecillinam is also |
| |efficient against pylonephritis. In spite of resistance in E.coli and possible adverse effects on the fetus, many |
| |physicians still prescribe Sulphonamides during the first two trimesters of pregnancy.3 |
| | |
| |In the study conducted by Elicia S Kennedy, the antibiotics used in treatment of UTI in pregnancy are Amoxicillin, |
| |Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim, Sulphamethoxazole, Cephalexin, Ceftriaxone, Cefazoline and Ceftibuten.5 |
| | |
| |As per the university of Chicago medical center obstetrician/gynecologist were most likely to prescribe Nitrofurantoin,|
| |which is thought to be less likely to contribute to birth defects, but is not recommended in the specialty literature |
| |as a first – line treatment for urinary tract infections during pregnancy.6 |
| | |
| |The Canadian compendium of pharmaceuticals and specialties continues to state that the Nitrofurantoin use is |
| |contraindicated in pregnancy when patients are close to delivery.7 |
| | |
| |According to a study by Mathai E., Thomas R J., and Chandy S., Cephalosporins were most commonly used in hospital |
| |practice for the treatment of UTI. Amoxicillin was being used widely to treat UTI in pregnancy inspite of high |
| |prevalence of resistance. E.coli causing UTI is still susceptible to Nitrofurantoin, a relatively inexpensive and safe |
| |drug. However less than 25% of doctors used it in the treatment of cystitis. There were wide variations in the duration|
| |of therapy and use of prophylaxis.8 |
| | |
| |A study based on the practicing physicians participating in the National Ambulatory Medical care showed that the most |
| |frequently prescribed antibiotics were Trimethoprime & Sulfamethoxazole. They are increasing their use of |
| |Fluroquinolones and Nitrofurantoin. Antibiotics prescribing in urinary tract infections may be influenced by clinical |
| |factors such as pregnancy and drug allergies but may also be shaped by non clinical factors such as subspecialty |
| |culture. 9 |
| |According to a study conducted by Ochoa-Brust GJ and Fernandez AR it was concluded that daily intake of 100mg of |
| |ascorbic acid played an important role in the reduction of urinary infections, improving the health level of the |
| |gestating women.10 |
| | |
| |OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY : |
| |To study the prescribing patterns of the antibiotics in the treatment of |
| |UTI during pregnancy |
| |2. Comparison between the treatment given for UTI in pregnant and non |

| |counseling to the patient. |
