Resumo: | Urinary tract infection is the most common type of bacterial infection, presenting as a variety of clinical entities. Acute pyelonephritis (AP) stands out for its morbidity. Data referring to this condition’s epidemiology are essential for correct diagnostic suspicion and definition of its therapy, which is empirical and based on patterns peculiar to each population. Objective: in this study we aimed to determine the epidemiological and microbiological profiles of acute pyelonephritis in the University Hospital of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Methods: retrospective analysis of the records of inpatients diagnosed with AP through a positive result of urine culture, seen from January 1999 to July 2003. Results: AP accounted for 1.63% of all hospitalizations. AP predominantly occurred in females and in most cases the typical clinical and laboratory findings were found. Sepsis criteria were present in 22% and gram-negative bacteria were isolated in the great majority of the cases. Conclusion: We found the characteristic clinical profile of AP in our population, making it easy to suspect the diagnosis of this potential life-threatening condition. |

Destaca-se entre elas a pielonefrite aguda (PNA) por apresentar maior morbidade. Dados referentes à epidemiologia desta condição são indispensáveis para correta suspeita diagnóstica e definição da sua terapêutica, que é empírica e baseada nas características peculiares de cada população. Objetivos: no presente estudo, buscamos traçar o perfil epidemiológico e microbiológico das pielonefrites agudas no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (HU-UFJF). Métodos: análise retrospectiva dos prontuários de pacientes internados com PNA de 01/1999 a 07/2003, que tinham urocultura positiva. Resultados: PNA corresponderam a 1,63% das internações no período. Encontramos preponderância do sexo feminino e, na maioria dos casos, os quadros clínicos e laboratoriais típicos de PNA. Os critérios de sepse estavam presentes em 22% e as bactérias Gram-negativas foram os agentes etiológicos na esmagadora maioria dos casos. Conclusão: encontramos o quadro clínico característico de PNA na nossa população, o que permite que facilmente se chegue à suspeita e ao diagnóstico desta patologia potencialmente grave.Editora UFJF2007-11-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtOrapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/19HU Revista; v. 32 n. 3 (2006); 65-701982-80470103-3123reponame:HU Revista (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/19/14Pinheiro, Hélady SandersGomes, Rafael RochaFerreira, Raquel EliasMira, Rafael Rabello ListaOliveira, Murilo GomesBastos, Marcus Gomesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-04T03:53:15Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/19Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevistaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/oairevista.hurevista@ufjf.edu.br1982-80470103-3123opendoar:2023-05-04T03:53:15HU Revista (Online) - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false |
