Abstract

Background: Candiduria is finding of yeast Candida species in the urine could mean that the patient has pyelonephritis or cystitis who have bladder colonization, and in patients who have upper urinary tract infection that developed either from retrograde spread from the bladder or hematogenous spread from a distant source. Objective: The aim of this research work was to isolate and identify bacteriuria and Candiduria associated in Urinary tract infections in patients with diabetes to establish relationship of measure serum PCV, WBC and Hb levels in diabetes and compare with control. Methods: The work was applied on 57 UTI Patient and40 apparently health controls with age range (30-60) years. Urines cultures were collected from patients who gave informed consent aseptically into sterile McCartney bottles and examined microscopically, culturally Samples were cultured on blood agar, McConkey agar and SDA agar. Also collected blood sample from patients analyzed for serum PCV, WBC and Hb. Results: Urines cultures ‘of UTI Patient with diabetes reveals major types of bacteria, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus. The least prevalent organisms were Streptococcus pyogenes, E. faecalis and S. saprophyticus. The parameters showing that there is a significantly increased (p< 0.05) in WBC in Diabetes mellitus patients (10231) compared to control group (5500) and where as HB and PCV levels decreace in there value specially with age between (41-50).

Keywords: Bacteriuria, Candiduria, U.T. Idiabetes mellitus, PCV, WBC and Hb.
