| The study was carried out in Kirkuk province, on patients attending Kirkuk hospitals, and private clinics from the 15th December 2004 until the 1st July 2005. Urine and blood samples were collected from 152 persons including 102 patients with urinary tract stones (61 males, 41 females), and 50 control healthy subjects (30 males, 20 females). General urine examination was done, and the results showed that 74 of the patients group were suffering from urinary tract infection, 25 of them were on antibiotics, and urine culture was done for the remaining patients. The results of urine culture showed that Escherichia coli infection (10.8%) was the commonest among patients with urinary tract stones, followed by proteus species (5.4%), Acinetobacter spp, Klebsiella spp (2.7%) for each and Pseudomonas spp, Staphylococci saprophyticus, Enterococci faecalis (1.35%) respectively. Significant increase in prevalence of urinary tract stones was demonstrated at age group (21-30 year), the highest rate was among housewives and officials, and (41.18%) of them had familial history of urinary tract stones. | ||
