- Purpose: Diagnosing urinary tract infections by urine culture is time-consuming during a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment. Because the urine culture results take time to collect, patients are treated presumptively, or Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is discontinued before the results. This study evaluated the ability of the Sysmex UF-1000i system to examine the urine bacterial count and determine if it could be used to predict a positive culture.
Materials and Methods: 180 patients who underwent transurethral resection for bladder tumors and received intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment between January 2017 and July 2018 were evaluated prospectively. For patients who received an intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment, urine flow cytometry, and urine cultures were assessed weekly during the treatment period.
Results: During Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation, 44, 146, and 27 patients had bacteriuria, pyuria, and positive urine nitrite, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that the predictors associated with bacteriuria included the urine flow cytometry results of ＞100 bacteria/µl (odds ratio, 22.73; p＜0.001) and positive urine nitrite (odds ratio, 5.67; p=0.012) at the time of sampling for positive urine culture. The area under the receiver operative characteristic curve for diagnosing bacteriuria by urine flow cytometry was 0.825. A urine flow cytometry cutoff value of ＞100 bacteria/µl resulted in a sensitivity and specificity of 75% and 90.91%, respectively. Using the cutoff of ＞1,000 bacteria/µl, the sensitivity and specificity were 50% and 94.85%, respectively.
Conclusions: Rapid urinary tract infection diagnosis using Sysmex UF-1000i can be used to determine whether to treat an infection and to avoid unnecessary Bacillus Calmette-Guérin discontinuation and urine culture tests.

- Purpose: This study evaluated the rate and predictors of bacteriuria in patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment.
Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated 266 patients who underwent TURBT and intravesical BCG treatment between January 2017 and September 2019. Urinalysis and urine culture were performed at the baseline, one to two weeks after TURBT and weekly during the BCG treatment period. The primary outcomes were the bacteriuria rates in BCG-treated patients, while the secondary outcomes were the risk factors of bacteriuria during BCG treatments.
Results: Of the 266 patients, the rate of bacteriuria was 4.5% before TURBT, 5.3% in the postoperative period, and 24.4% in the BCG treatment period. After BCG instillation, urinalysis showed that 204 and 38 patients tested positive for pyuria and nitrite, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that the risk factors associated with bacteriuria during BCG treatment included age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.06; p=0.003), sex (female) (OR, 5.41; p=0.007), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR, 2.82; p=0.023), postoperative bacteriuria (OR, 8.08; p=0.032), bacterial counts>100/µl in urine flow cytometry (OR, 29.72; p<0.001), and positive urine nitrite test (OR, 6.20; p=0.001) at the time of positive urine culture sampling.
Conclusions: Approximately 25% of the patients suffered from bacteriuria during intravesical BCG treatment. Old age, female sex, DM, and postoperative bacteriuria were found to be the risk factors of bacteriuria during BCG treatment. Predictive factors could aid in clinical decisions during BCG treatments as well as decisions on BCG discontinuation.

- Purpose: This retrospective study was undertaken to investigate whether increasing amikacin dosage for ciprofloxacin prophylaxis in patients with fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant rectal flora reduce infectious complications after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUSPB).
Materials and Methods: A total of 430 patients with FQ-resistant rectal flora based on rectal swab cultures were divided into two groups. Patients in both groups were administered ciprofloxacin (400 mg, intravenous [IV], twice daily) on the same day as TRUSPB and one day after biopsy. However, whereas group 1 patients (n=202) were administered a single injection of amikacin (1g, IV) one hour before TRUSPB, patients in group 2 (n=228) were administered two injections of amikacin (1g, IV) before one hour TRUSPB and again on the day after TRUSPB.
Results: Of the 430 study subjects, 129 (30.0%) showed extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) positivity. The overall incidence rate of infectious complications was 2.8% (12/430). Infectious complication rates were 4.0% (8/202) in group 1 and 1.3% (3/228) in group 2 (p=0.075). Urinary tract infection and acute prostatitis were more frequent in group 1 (3.5% vs. 0.4%, p=0.029). Infectious complication rates in ESBL negative patients were 3.4% (5/145) in group 1 and 1.3% (2/156) in group 2, whereas those in ESBL positive patients were 7.0% (4/57) in group 1 and 1.4% (1/72) in group 2.
Conclusions: Increasing the dosage of amikacin for ciprofloxacin prophylaxis reduce infectious complications in patients with FQ-resistant rectal flora and to be more effective in ESBL positive patients with FQ-resistant rectal flora.
