  • Title: Catheter-associated bacteriuria.
    Author: Warren JW.
    Journal: Clin Geriatr Med; 1992 Nov; 8(4):805-19. PubMed ID: 1423136.
    Abstract:
    Catheter-associated bacteriuria is the most common nosocomial infection in both acute and long-term care facilities. Complications include fever, bacteremia, acute pyelonephritis, urinary stones, chronic renal inflammation, and death. Catheter-associated bacteriuria can be postponed by maintaining the closed nature of the catheter system. Postponement may become prevention of bacteriuria if the catheter is removed as soon as possible.
