Objective: Evaluate sensitivity and specificity of nitrite test to urine culture(gold standard) for diagnosing urinary tract infection in patients with sickle cell anemia with urinary symptoms and signs. Methods: The study sample included 79 children aged 2 to 14 years with SCA presenting with fever (temperature >38°C),abdominal pain, urgency, dysuria or increased urinary frequency who referral to the general pediatric clinic and the children's ambulance department in Tishreen University Hospital in Lattakia during( 2016-2017). Midstream urine specimen was collected from children. Samples were subjected to nitrite test, culture and sensitivity. Results : There was significant bacteriuria in 17 (21.5%) children with SCA. A positive test for nitrite was obtained in 12 of the 17(70.5%) children. The nitrite test has a specificity of 95.2% in detecting bacteriuria, a sensitivity of 70.6%, a positive predictive value of 80% and a negative predictive value of 92%. A positive nitrite test was significantly associated with bacteriuria, while a negative test was also significantly associated with an absence of bacteriuria.

The majority of patients with SCD receive transfusions at some point in their life. Transfusion can be simple transfusion or exchange transfusions which offer better control of blood volume and viscosity. Such transfusions are most readily accompli shed via automated red cell exchange. Evaluate the results of our experience in applying the technique of selective cell separation by continuous flow (Cytapheresis) for automated red cell exchange for patients with sickle cell anemia to reduce the level of hemoglobin S (HbS) in certain cases, especially in preparation for major surgery.
This study aims to show the effectiveness of hydroxyl urea in the treatment of severe forms of sickle-cell anemia. The study included 30 patients from patients with sickle cell anemia and who reviewed the Blood clinics in AL- Assad University Hosp ital . We had studied patients treated with hydroxy urea for at least 6 months, where it was compared to blood and clinical variables before and after hydroxy urea treatment. The results showed an improvement in blood and clinical manifestations , and it was noted a significant increase in the level of fetal hemoglobin, and a decrease in the level of hemoglobin and sickle cell after hydroxy urea treatment. hydroxy urea treatment also led to a clear increase in the level of total hemoglobin, and a decrease in the value of total bilirubin. Decrease in the number of the pain episodes that needed hospitalization, and the number of times of blood transfusion after treatment, too.
Bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infection were studied. The study examined 120 urine samples taken from the middle of the urinary flow of patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection.
Back pound: Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and lower urinary tract anomalies (LUTA) are often considered high risk for renal transplantation. Methods and subjects: To evaluate the degree of risk, we have reviewed our experience of 17 p atients with (ESRD) and (LUTA). The study was carried out in Almoussat university hospital, between 5/ 2003 and 5/2009. After a detailed urological assessment, the patients had been undergone either non-continent cutaneous diversion (Bricker) (Two patients) or continent cutaneous diversion with bladder augmentation (14 patients), before renal transplantation. Results: The patient and graft survival rates were 84.62% and 100%, respectively. The presence of an ileal conduit did not adversely affect graft survival. And the commonest complication was persistent urinary tract infection, which occurred in all patients (100%), but didn’t cause any graft loss. However two patients died because of systemic infections and their graft function was good. Conclusion: Renal transplantation is a satisfactory option for patients with ESRD due to LUTA, but it is important to carry out detailed urological assessment prior to the transplant procedure.
Ninety urin samples were taken from patients suffering from urinary tract infection .the purpose was to isolate and identify Ecoli. After cultural and biochemical diagnosis,[47] isolates had been obtained with [63.5%] for E-coli out of [74] samples that had bacterial growth.
