Bacteria of Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections at a University Hospital in Egypt: Identification and Associated Risk Factors

ICU nosocomial infections in the United States. In our survey of two local medical centers, 34% (185 of 543) of hospitalized patients with urinary isolates positive for Candida were in the ICU (93 of 236 and 92 of 307 at a public hospital and a tertiarycare facility, respectively; L. G. Miller, MD, unpublished data, July 15, 2003). Whereas candiduria occurs mostly in catheterized patients, a European study suggests that the percentage of nosocomial UTI in non-catheterized patients may be as high as 37%. These data suggest that the true incidence of candiduria may be 30% to more than 100% greater than our estimate. Third, the proportion of UTIs caused by Candida species is available only in the medical and combined medical-surgical ICUs. The proportion may be different in other ICUs. Finally, there are few data regarding outpatient candiduria, which is a rare finding in the outpatient setting and usually occurs in diabetic patients and patients receiving antibiotics. Most cases of candiduria still occur in hospitalized patients with indwelling urinary catheters.
