Abstract: 
  • Infection in hospitals is a serious problem for the Public Health System. It is responsible for the increasing number of hospital deaths, as well as the longer time patients may have to stay in hospital, raising the costs of confinement more and more. The most common hospital infection is urinary tract infections (UTI), the use of the urinary catheter being the main risk factor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of UTI among hospitalized patients in a University Hospital in Brazil, from October to December 2003. Out of 271 samples of urine checked, 51 were positive, 27 of these from patients having community-acquired UTI and 24 whose infection originated in the hospital. The community-acquired UTIs were more frequent in female patients (63%). The highest incidence of infection was caused by Escherichia coli (74%), especially in patients aged from 0 to 15 (37%). The episodes of hospital-acquired infection happened, in the main, in male patients aged above 50 (68%) who were using a lasting vesical catheter; in this group of patients the infection was frequently caused by E. coli (29.1%) and Klebsiella spp. (29.1%). E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibited strong resistance (62.5%) to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, as well as to ampicillin, showing that these drugs should not be used to cure UTIs in this institution.
  • Infecção Hospitalar é um grande problema de saúde pública, sendo responsável pelo aumento da morbimortalidade dos pacientes, bem como do período de internação e custos assistenciais. Dentre as infecções hospitalares, a infecção do trato urinário (ITU) é a mais comum, sendo a presença de cateter urinário o principal fator de risco. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as ITUs em pacientes internados num Hospital Universitário, no período de outubro a dezembro de 2003. Das 271 amostras de urina analisadas, 51 foram positivas, sendo 27 de pacientes com infecção comunitária do trato urinário e 24 de origem hospitalar. As ITUs comunitárias foram mais comuns em pacientes do sexo feminino (63%), com idade entre 0 e 15 anos (37%), sendo Escherichia coli o agente mais freqüente (74,1%). Os episódios de ITU de origem hospitalar ocorreram, na sua maioria, em pacientes que faziam uso de sonda vesical de demora, do sexo masculino (68%) e com idade acima de 50 anos (68%), e tiveram como agentes etiológicos mais freqüentes Escherichia coli (29,1%) e Klebsiella spp. (29,1%). Quanto à sensibilidade/resistência aos antimicrobianos, E. coli e Klebsiella pneumoniae apresentaram sensibilidade elevada (62,5%) ao sulfametoxazol/trimetoprim e a ampicilina, sugerindo a não utilização desses medicamentos nessa instituição.
