Treatment of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis involves antibiotics as well as surgery. Removal of the kidney is the best surgical treatment in the overwhelming majority of cases, although polar resection (partial nephrectomy) has been effective for some people with localized disease.
[104] [105] Pregnancy is an exception and it is recommended that women take seven days of antibiotics. [106] [107] If not treated it causes up to 30% of mothers to develop pyelonephritis and increases risk of low birth weight and preterm birth. [108]
For acute cystitis and pyelonephritis in pregnant women, empiric antibiotic treatment is often initiated. Commonly used antibiotics for uncomplicated cystitis include amoxicillin-clavulanate and fosfomycin, while parenteral beta-lactams are preferred for acute pyelonephritis. These options are chosen because they are considered safer in ...
Complications of analgesic nephropathy include pyelonephritis [3] and end-stage kidney disease. [4] Risk factors for poor prognosis include recurrent urinary tract infection and persistently elevated blood pressure. [5] Analgesic nephropathy also appears to increase the risk of developing cancers of the urinary system. [6]
Neonatal sepsis is a type of neonatal infection and specifically refers to the presence in a newborn baby of a bacterial blood stream infection (BSI) (such as meningitis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, or gastroenteritis) in the setting of fever.
The risk of severe malaria by Plasmodium falciparum is three times as high in pregnant women, with a median maternal mortality of 40% reported in studies in the Asia–Pacific region. [1] In women where the pregnancy is not the first, malaria infection is more often asymptomatic, even at high parasite loads, compared to women having their first ...
Caused by: Unknown, but risk factors include smoking, advanced maternal age, and prior surgery or trauma to the fallopian tubes. Risk factors include untreated pelvic inflammatory disease, likely due to fallopian tube scarring. [41] Treatment: In most cases, keyhole surgery must be carried out to remove the fetus, along with the fallopian tube.
In community-acquired infections, they are recommended only when risk factors for multidrug resistance are present or after other antibiotic regimens have failed. However, for serious acute cases of pyelonephritis or bacterial prostatitis where the person may need to be hospitalised, fluoroquinolones are recommended as first-line therapy. [6]
