Abstract
Hospital acquired infections are the most common type of adverse
event in healthcare. Urinary tract infections are the most frequent
(accounting for about 35 percent of nosocomial infection) but carry the
lowest mortality .
Risk factors for nosocomial UTI are 1)the microbial agent (resistance
to antimicrobial agents and intrinsic virulence). 2)Patient susceptibility (age
and underlying disease). 3)Environmental factors (Crowded conditions
within the hospital), 4) Anatomical factors as regard females (short distance
between the urethra and the anus). 5)Chronic renal failure and Diabetic
complications ( impaired immunity).
Ureteral stents are thin, flexible tubes threaded into the ureter to help
urine drainage from the kidney to the bladder. Most of the ureteral stents
have both proximal coil that located in the renal pelvis and distal coil that
located in urinary bladder with many configurations (double J).
Urinary tract infections may develop as a complication of the ureteral
stents due to formation of a coat around stents includes host proteins,
electrolytes and other substances such as urea, microbes may embed.
