Abstract :
Urinary tract infection (UTI) one of the most
common infectious diseases has been seen as a global
burden. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for
causing majority of the UTIs. This study was conducted at
Kantipur Hospital Pvt. Ltd. Kathmandu from July 2016
to December 2017.The research was conducted to study
about the relation between pyuria and bacteriuria among
patients suspected of urinary tract infection. A total of 464
mid-stream urine samples were collected. Out of total
processed sample 97/464 was positive while 263 were
culturally negative. E. coli accounted for 76.28 %( 74) of
the growth while K. pneumoniae accounted for 9.27% (9)
of the total bacterial growth. Other organism which were
found were P. vulgaris 8.24 (8) S. aureus 3.09 %( 3),
Coagulase negative staphylococcus (CoNS) 1.03% (1), E.
facealis1.03% (1) and P. aeruginosa 1.03% (1). Amikacin
was most susceptible drugs for E. coli with 90.54% (67)
success followed by gentamicin 81.08 %( 60). Both
amikacin and gentamicin proved susceptible for other
gram negative isolates too. Among the total isolates 73 of
them were found to Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) were E.
coli 92.85% (66) has most number of MDR cases followed
by 3.96 %( 4).It was found that female patient were more
affected (79) than male patient (18).While on age group
basis people aging between 21-30 years mostly had
infection (31). Among the 464 samples, 78.67% (365) of
samples showed insignificant pyuria. However, 4.12% of
samples gave positive culture results. The highest Culture
positivity, 28 (75.67%) samples out of 37 was detected in
urine samples having pus cells of 6-10/hpf, whereas
5(33.33%) urine samples with more han 50 pus cells/hpf
was culture positive. Female are more susceptible for UTI
than Male and presence of pyuria can be good indicator of
urine infection, though Culture should always be
considered as gold standard.
