Most urinary tract infections are believed to arise by the ascending route after entry via the urethral meatus. This is by far the most common route of infection in the female and in association with instrumentation, in both sexes. It now generally accepted that bacteria ascend the urinary stream by simple Brownian movement and can reach the kidney in the absence of alteration of urine flow.
Some workers have postulated that there may be a pathway from the intestines to the kidney by way of lymphatic channels. According to Beeson’s review, direct lymphatic channels have not been convincingly demonstrated between the appendix and cecum and right kidney. Some investigators report passage of Indian ink particles from the lower to upper tract in animals but this remains to be confirmed.

Male Reproductive SystemThe reproductive system has a unique biologic purpose and colorful psychologic side effects. The reproductive system differs fundamentally from the other body systems because its purpose is to ensure survival of the species rather than the individual. The reproductive apparatus in the male includes the testes, seminal ducts, seminal vesicles, certain glands, the urethra and the penis. |

Anemia, Deficiency in Red Blood Cells or HemoglobinAnemia may be defined as a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin or both. Anemia is serious because of the impaired ability of the blood to carry oxygen. As a result the cells degenerate, especially those of the nervous sxtem. This explains such early symptoms as disinterest, fatigue, and loss of energy. There are various kinds of anemia. For example, blood loss anemia is a result of hemorrhage or the chronic loss of blood. |

Erythema Multiforme Occurs Chiefly In Infants And Younger PatientsErythema multiforme occurs chiefly in infants and younger patients, appearing symmetrically on the extensor surfaces of the upper, more rarely of the lower, extremities. The first lesions consist of patches and papules which are at first red but later turn bluish red in the center. The bluish red centers often turn into blisters. The lesions may coalesce; in other cases a new bright red margin develops around the old one after the latter has turned brownish or bluish, resulting in lesions of concentric rings. |
