Filter by:Hypothesis: Administration of corticoids (dexamethasone) together with the conventional antibiotherapy in the acute phase of a febrile urinary tract infection could reduce the risk of renal scarring after 6 months of the primo-infection. Primary objectives:To evaluate the reduction in incidence of renal scarring after 6 months of a acute pyelonephritis between the control group (conventional therapy plus placebo) and intervention group (conventional therapy plus dexamethasone. Design: Multicentre randomized clinical trial,placebo controled, including children between 2 months and 14 years with a acute pyelonephritis proven by a acute phase DMSA (dimethylsuccinic acid ). A total of 180 children in to parallel groups (intervention and placebo) will be included.
This was a Phase 3 study containing a randomized open-label superiority cohort (Cohort 1) comparing the efficacy and safety of plazomicin with colistin when combined with a second antibiotic (either meropenem or tigecycline) in the treatment of patients with bloodstream infection (BSI), hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) due to CRE. An additional cohort of patients with BSI, HABP, VABP, complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), or acute pyelonephritis (AP) due to CRE, not eligible for inclusion in the other cohort, were enrolled into a single arm (Cohort 2) and treated with plazomicin-based therapy. Therapeutic drug management (TDM) was used to help ensure that plazomicin exposures lie within an acceptable range of the target mean steady-state area under the curve (AUC).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the microbiological and clinical outcome of treatment with finafloxacin for 5 days versus finafloxacin for 10 days versus ciprofloxacin for 10 days as a reference comparator.
Cranberry and cranberry-lingonberry juice prevented urinary tract infections in children and in adults in our earlier clinical trials. The preventive effect was, however, observed late in the follow-up and the next recurrence was not prevented in children. The investigators hypothesize that cranberry-lingonberry juice should be started already during the antimicrobial treatment of acute urinary tract infection in order to maximize the preventive efficacy of the juice. In addition, the investigators aim to find the explanation for the efficacy of cranberry-lingonberry juice by analyzing the concomitant changes in the chemical composition of urine and feces as well as the changes of gut microbiota.
Pyelonephritis is a serious infection that manifests with fever, back pain, nausea, and vomiting. In the U.S., it is estimated that there are 20 cases of pyelonephritis per 10,000 annually, with the highest incidence in young women. Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes over 80% of these infections. Over the last two decades, E. coli resistance has emerged to commonly prescribed antimicrobials, such as ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX). Most recently, resistance to fluoroquinolones and strains producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) have been observed. In order to better understand the evolution and current state of antibiotic resistance among E. coli urinary tract isolates so as to better inform treatment decisions, the investigators propose to conduct an investigation to: a) determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among E. coli causing acute pyelonephritis in various patient groups, and specifically healthy community-dwellers with uncomplicated infections, b) determine the specific prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistance and ESBL-producing E. coli, and c) determine potential risk factors for fluoroquinolone and ESBL-producing E. coli infections.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftazidime Avibactam compared to Doripenem for treating hospitalized patients with complicated urinary tract infections, including acute pyelonephritis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of adding 125 mg or 250 mg doses of MK-7655 (relebactam) to imipenem/cilastatin in adults 18 years or older with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI). The primary hypothesis is that the relebactam + imipenem/cilastatin treatment regimen is non-inferior to imipenem/cilastatin with respect to the proportion of participants with a favorable microbiological response at completion of intravenous (IV) study therapy.
The objective of this study is to determine whether the finger tip images captured by the EPIC ClearView device, when analyzed via the ClearView software, produce a Response Scale that characterizes trends consistent with known diagnoses identified by medical doctors. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that the organ system involving any of a series of known active diagnoses will be identified in the EPIC ClearView Response Scale report with the intention of providing potential triage capabilities.
Urinary tract community infections are one of very frequent reason consultation and prescription. Urinary tract represents the second site of bacterial community infection after the respiratory system. The management of the acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis was simply codified in the past recommendations of the French Agency for Safety Health Products (AFSSAPS) in 2008. Treatment is based on two main families of antibiotics, fluoroquinolones with 7 days treatment and 3rd generation cephalosporins with 10 to 14 days treatment. The practice of a short treatment with ceftriaxone intra venous relayed by cefixime orally provides a simplified treatment for patients, a reduced use of fluoroquinolones and a probable decrease in correlation with the emergence of fluoroquinolones resistance, and finally, a decrease in the cost of treatment of acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis.
