Etude ethnobotanique des plantes qui traitent l’infection urinaire dans la région Relizane et Chlef & Etude rétrospective des cas enregistrés au niveau des Hôpitaux durant la période 2012-2015

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UI) occupy a prominent place in nephrological pathology by their frequency in both sexes and at all ages. We illustrated this by a retrospective study in both Chlef and Relizane states in a four-year period (2012-2015), Our study involves collecting data, analyzing it, and dividing it by year, sex, age, responsible bacteria and most used antibiotics. The results of this study show that the urinary infection increases with age and affects more women (60%) than men where the most dominant bacterial species is E. coli (40-60%). The treatment of urinary tract infection has not changed much over the years; the choice of antibiotic is based on microbiological data. It is rare to have to treat before disposing of it. Currently, aminoglycosides, quinolones and beta-lactam antibiotics remain constantly active on most germs of the urinary tract infection Our study is also conducted from an ethnobotanical survey that requires the use of medicinal plants to treat the urinary tract infection instead of the use of medicinal treatments because of their adverse effects and the problems of antibiotic resistances of bacteria.
