To investigate the high rate of recurrence and associated bacteremia in renal transplant patients with urinary tract infection (UTI), a prospective study was undertaken in 47 consecutive renal transplant patients, using the antibody-coated bacteria (ACB) assay to define the site of infection and the type of antibiotic therapy to be prescribed. Sixteen patients (34) developed infection in the first 3 months after transplantation, with 14 of the 16 (88) having positive ACB tests. In contrast, 3 of 47 patients (6) developed UTI more than 3 months post-transplantation, all with negative ACB assays. |
