Abstract

Prevalence of UTI in HIV patients is well documented in several studies across the world, but there is paucity of data as regards UTI in HIV patients in Jos metropolis, Nigeria. The study was designed to determine the prevalence of urinary tract infection in HIV positive patients in Jos metropolis and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Two hundred and twenty-five mid-stream urine samples were obtained from HIV patients. Samples were cultured on cysteine lactose electrolyte deficient (CLED) agar and blood agar. Gram staining and biochemical tests were carried out to identify the bacteria isolates. Sensitivity testing was performed on isolates using disc diffusion method. Of the 225 HIV patients tested, 13(5.8%) were positive for UTI of which males had 5(4.8%) while the females had 8(6.6%). The study showed the presence of UTI in all age groups with the exception of age group ≥46yrs. The low prevalence of urinary tract infection recorded in the present study is an indication of the efficacy of prophylaxis administered to HIV patients to prevent opportunistic infection.
