Recurrent urinary tract infections--uropathogen incidence and drug sensitivity.

The aim of the study was the retrospective analysis of the results of the drug sensitivity studies of bacterial species cultured from 681 urinary specimens collected from 79 children (12 boys and 67 girls) aged 0-18 years with recurrent urinary tract infection in a period from 1997 to 2001. Factors predisposing to recurrent urinary tract infections and the incidences of particular uropathogens were also analyzed. Escherichia coli (57.

Efficacy of vaccination against viral hepatitis type B in children with the nephrotic syndrome.

The purpose of the study was to estimate the efficacy of vaccination against viral hepatitis type B in children with the nephrotic syndrome and to estimate the probable cause-effect relationship between the occurrence of the nephrotic syndrome and infectious diseases and vaccination in children. The retrospective study comprised 235 nephrotic children aged 1-14 years hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Nephrology at University Children Hospital, Lublin, between 1982 and 1997. 56 nephrotic children aged 2-13 years received vaccination against viral hepatitis type B.

Urinary excretion of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and alpha1-microglobulin in children with proliferative blood diseases.

The purpose of the study was to estimate the urinary excretion of NAG and alpha-1M among children who suffer from proliferative blood diseases. The group of the examined children included those who went through a viral hepatitis (VH) and who are or were treated by means of cytostatic drugs. The study comprised 73 children aged from 4 to 18 (average 11.

[Anatomic and functional disorders of the urinary tract in children with urinary tract infections].

The study is based on clinical analysis of 207 case recordings of children with urinary tract infection (UTI) hospitalized in The Department of Pediatric Nephrology, University Hospital, Lublin in 1995-1999. The study comprised children aged 1-18 years, average 8.8 +/- 0.

[Health status and physical development of children delivered by mothers who suffered from nephrotic syndrome in their infancy].

Numerous complications of nephrotic syndrome due to either the illness itself or repeated courses of high-dose corticosteroids have been well recognised for several score years. However, investigations concerning children of ex-patients are lacking. The purpose of this study was to assess physical development and health state in the group of children whose mothers had suffered from the idiopathic nephrotic syndrome during their childhood.
