Objective. The aim of the study was to analfze the frequency of urinary

infections in patients treated in Urological Department between 1994-1995

years.

Material and method. The urine cultures were performed in 1817 pts: 1230 men

and 587 women. The frequency of urinary infections in kidney stone, BPH, bladder

cancer patients were analized. Bactcriogical urine examinations after transurthral

procedures were also done.

Results. The presence of urinary tract infection was found in 24% of patients

admitted in 1994 and 30% of patients admitted in 1995. The percentage of positivc

urine cultures in patients with history of transurethral instrumentation was 50%. The

most frequent isolated pathogens were: E. coli, Proteus, Enterococcus and Pseudo-

monas. The urinary tract infection was more often obscrvcd in women.

The U.T.I. was observed in 25% of kidney stone disease in 20% of patients with

BPH and 27% with bladder cancer. Transurethral procedures predisposed to U.T.I.

50% of patients after transurethral instrumentation had positive urine cultures.

Conclusion. (I) Between 1994-1995 bacterial urinary tract infection was obsc-

rvcd in 30% of patients treated in Urological Department. (2) Transurethral proce-

dures enhanced the risk of U.T.I. and thafs why bacterial prophylaxis is recom-

mended in patients after transurethral instrumentation.
