The incidence of @entity293 ( @entity293 ) in 363 adult renal transplant recipients transplanted during the period 1990-96 has been analysed. UTI occurred in 96 @entity1 (26%), most frequently during the first year after transplantation. Female recipients had significantly more UTI than male recipients (49% vs. 14%, p < 0.0001). There was no difference in the incidence of UTI between recipients receiving @entity1707 -tail catheters as ureteral stents or not, the figures being 21% vs. 28%, respectively. Age had no influence on the incidence of UTI. In 341 @entity1 treated with @entity205 the incidence of UTI was 28%, while in 15 @entity1 treated with @entity1140 only 1 @entity1 (7%) had a UTI (ns). The majority of organisms cultured were gram-negative (76%), with approximately 1/3 being @entity526 and 1/5 being Enterococcus and Klebsiella/Enterobacter. The bacterial spectrum was not influenced by the recipient's age. UTI had no effect on the number of rejections, or on graft and @entity1 survival in living donor transplant recipients. No significant difference was found in graft and @entity1 survival rates at 3 yr between @entity1 who had UTI or no UTI.
