Abstract

Urinary tract infections account for about 40% of overall hospital system infections and are a serious economic burden and problem for public health system in any country. This is primarily expressed through absence from work. Urinary infection analysis needs to provide better results in this field by improved and better quality prevention, better education, and also higher quality hospitalisation. Using the method of urine analysis, i.e. through its results, we come to understand what the most common causes of urinary infections are. The study shows that the bladder inflammation (N30) is the most common admitting diagnosis in subjects whose urine culture was positive. Among the subjects with positive urine culture, Escherichia coli was found in 43.4% of patients. A statistically significant association was found between admitting diagnoses and the age group of respondents aged 35 to 50.
