BACTERIAL INFECTION OF THE GENITOURINARY TRACT Wu Yudong The First Teaching Hospital of Zhengzhou University

General Principle 

Susceptibility factors and defense mechanisms in genitourinary tract infection Bacterial virulence factors Attenuate disease resistence of the body Obstruction factors Anatomy factors

Pathogenesis of Urinary Tract Infection    

Ascending Infection Hematogenous Spread Lamphatogenous Spread Direct Extension from another Organ

Outline of Diagnosis and Treatment 





Identify diagnosis of urinary tract infection WBC in urine Colony count> 105 / ml Location of urinary tract infection Upper or lower urinary tract Any primary disease

Treatment strategy 

Bacteria sensitive antibiotic



Treatment of the primary disease

Renal Abscess

Etiology & Pathogenesis 

Abscess in renal cortex(carbuncles): -Primary lesion: Infected skin -Spread route: Hematogenous -Pathogenic Bacteria: Staphylococci -Predisposing factor: Diabetes Mellitus, Hemodialysis, Intravenous Drug -Less prevalent today

Etiology & Pathogenesis 

Corticomedullary Abscess: -Primary lesion: existing UTIs -Spread route: Ascending -Pathogenic Bacteria: Aerobic gram-negative coliform bacteria -Predisposing factor: VUR, stasis,calculi, pregnancy, neurogenic bladder and diabetes -More common today

Clinical Features Symptoms: Fever, chills, and flank pain------Typical Nausea, vomiting, and malaise--Common Cystitislike symptoms---Abscess communicate with collecting system Signs: Costovertebral angle tenderness abdominal tenderness 

Clinical Features 

Laboratary findings: -Blood RT: Leukocytosis with a shift toward neutrophils and immature forms -Blood culture: Bacteria -Urinalysis: pyuria and bacteriuria or no growth or distinct from the bacteria forming the abscess

Diagnosis  

CT Ultrasound

Management --Antibiotic therapy 



Staphylococcal abscess: Penicillinaseresistant penicillin or vancomycin or cephalosporin Typical urinary pathogens: Aminoglycosides or third-generation cephalosporin

Management 

Percutaneous CT or ultrasound-guided aspiration and drainage



Open surgical drainage

Prostatitis

Anatomy of the Prostate

Anatomy of the Prostate

verumontanum

General Information 





More common urologic diagnosis in men under 50 years of age, the third most common in older men From 10% to 30% of men will have a diagnosis of prostatitis by 79 years of age Understanding of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of prostatitis has not advanced with that of other prostate disease

Categorization and criteria for the prostatitis syndromes

Diagnostic Techniques EPS RT WBC>10/HP  4-glass test VB1:first voided 10ml of urine(urethra specimen) VB2:midstream sample(bladder sample) EPS(expressed prostatic secretion) VB3: first voided 10ml of urine following massage Bacterial quantification: If VB2 is sterile or has very low colony counts VB1>EPS and VB3 : Urethra infection VB1<10 fold of EPS and VB3: bacterial prostatitis 

Acute Bacterial Prostatitis

Etiology & Pathogenesis Aerobic gram-negative organism: E coli: 80% Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia, Klebsiella, and Proteus species: 10~15% Enterococci: 5~10%

Etiology & Pathogenesis 

Reflux of infected urine Invasion by rectal bacteria



Occur in the peripheral zone

Clinical Feature 

Fever and chill, malaise, arthralgia, and myalgia Rectal, low back, and perineal pain Urinary urgency, frequency, and dysuria



Acute Urinary retention produced by prostatic swelling

Clinical Feature 

Digital examination: tender, enlarged gland; irregularly firm and warm



Cloudy and malodorous urine



Gross hematuria occasionally

Diagnosis 



On the basis of symptoms and physical examination alone Blood RT: leukocytosis with a shift toward immature forms Urine RT: pyuria,microscopic hematuria, and bacteria Urine Culture: identify the infecting organism 4-glass test, or any prostate massage, and transurethra catheterization should be avoid

Management 

 

Antibiotic therapy 4~6weeks Against gram-negative rods and enterococci, such as TMP-SMX, ampicillin and aminoglycoside Change to the sensitive antibiotics according to the susceptibility test Supportive measures: Antipyretics, analgesics, stool softeners, hydration, and bed rest Acute urinary retention: suprapubic drainage

Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis

Etiology & Pathogenesis 

    

The causative organisms in chronic bacterial prostatitis are the same as those in acute prostatitis: gram-negative enterics and enterococci Intraprostatic reflux and the ductal anatomy Alkaline prostatic secretions Low level of zinic Intraprostatic bacterial sequestration prostatic calculi

Clinical Features 

Dysuria, urgency, frequency, and nocturia



Low back and perineal pain or discomfort



No characteristic findings on digital rectal examination

Diagnosis   



Recurrent UTIs EPS RT: leukocyte count> 10 per HPF 4-glass Test: the colony counts in EPS and VB3 should exceed those of VB1 and VB2 by at least 10-fold Positive EPS bacteria culture

Management 

Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a difficult and frustrating entity to treat. The course of therapy is long, and definitive cure is often not achieved. The greatest therapeutic difficulties stem from the poor penetration of most antibiotic agents into prostatic fluid and the stubborn loci of bacterial growth within the prostate

Management 

Antibiotic therapy fluoroquinolones, TMP-SMX, doxycycline, minocycline, amikacin, and carbenecillin At least 3-4 months of treatment is generally recommended



addition of an alpha blocker to antibiotic therapy significantly reduced the number of symptom recurrences over antibiotics alone

Management Relapsing cases  Suppressive therapy Aim: limiting bacterial growth in the urine Regimens: nitrofurantoin (100 mg dally), TMP-SMX (1 single-strength tablet dally), and ciprofloxacin (250 mg daily)  Surgical therapy Complete prostatectomy TURP

Complicatons   

Recurrent UTIs (reinfections) Infertility Negative impact on quality of life

Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)

Etiology & Pathogenesis  



the most common form of prostatitis and the most poorly understood Divided into inflammatory (category IIIA) and noninflammatory (category IIIB) forms, based on the presence of leukocytes in prostatic fluid Clinical symptoms between the two subgroups are essentially the same

Etiology & Pathogenesis 



 

C trachomatis, ureaplasmas,mycoplasmas, commensal, and anaerobic may be the pathogen, but the role of any infectious organism is still controversial Backflow of urine into prostatic ducts and a subsequent chemically induced inflammatory reaction of the prostate proximal urethra hypertonia--a cause of non inflammatory type Autoimmune process?

Clinical Features   

 

similar to those of chronic bacterial prostatitis Pain symptoms predominate, especially in the perineum, penis, and testicles Voiding dysfunction consisting of dysuria, slow stream, urgency, and frequency also occurs commonly Sexual dysfunction no difference in any symptom parameter between men with inflamed or uninflamed subtypes

Clinical Features  

No history of recurrence bladder infection DRE: prostate can be normal or tender

Diagnosis 



Inflammatory CPPS EPS RT: elevated leukocytes and lipid-laden macrophages EPS bacteria culture: negative Noninflammatory CPPS Negative laboratory findings Urodynamic evaluation may disclose urethral hypertonia and diminished flow

Management  



Definitive treatment for CPPS is not available Antibiotic therapy: fluoroquinolone is useful, If chlamydia is suspected, then tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline, or erythromycin should be chosen. Antibiotic therapy should probably continue for several weeks Alpha-adrenergic blocking agents: decreasing adrenergic tone in the proximal urethra, alleviating urethral hypertonia and preventing intraprostatic reflux of urine

Management 



Xanthine oxidase inhibitor (allopurinol): reduce the concentrations of urate in urine, alleviate chemical irritation in the prostate caused by refluxed urine and reduce the symptoms of CPPS Others: Pelvic floor relaxation techniques, biofeedback, prostate physical therapy (massage), and muscle relaxants may all reduce pelvic floor spasticity Anti-inflammatory agents, sitz baths, transurethral microwave thermotherapy, and normal sexual activity may provide symptomatic relief

Complications 

Significant effect on fertility: Lower sperm counts and abnormal morphologic and motility



Quality of life is adversely affected

Prostatic Abscess

Prostatic Abscess  

 

Complications of acute bacterial prostatitis Acute bacterial prostatitis followed by a recrudescence of symptoms suggests abscess formation Clinical picture often mimics that of acute bacterial prostatitis but can be highly variable E coli is the predominant organism

Prostatic Abscess 



Transrectal ultrasound or pelvic CT is essential in the diagnosis Treatment Transrectal or percutaneous aspiration and drainage of abscess cavities Transurethral incision and resection Pathogen-specific antibiotics are also required

Prostatic Abscess
