Philippine Practice Guidelines Group in Infectious Diseases-An Initiative of the Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

Abstract:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infections encountered by physicians. In out-patient clinics of tertiary centers in Manila, Cavite and Davao, they account for 5 to 17% of consultations. The Philippine Renal Disease Registry of the Philippine Society of Nephrology reports chronic pyelonephritis as the cause of end stage renal disease in 11% of patients undergoing maintenance dialysis and 8% of kidney transplant patients from six centers. UTIs also constitute over 40% of hospital-acquired infections.
