Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a relevant problem today. They are one of the most numerous groups among nephrological diseases and occupy a leading place among infections of the human body in general, except for diseases of the respiratory tract and intestinal infections. The total number of patients with ISS in the world has remained quite large for many years and is also constantly increasing. It is known that this disease most often affects women, starting from childhood. It is estimated that every second middle aged woman has had a clinical episode caused by an IBS, usually cystitis, at least once in her life. And only in old age the ratio of patients with ISS among men and women equalizes to a certain extent. There are also manifest and mildly symptomatic (hidden) variants with a latent course, capable of manifesting against the background of other infectious diseases. Thus, the relevance of the problem of infectious lesions of the urinary tract is due to the increase in its prevalence and the high development of chronicity of the processes. Hence the importance of developing effective methods for early diagnosis of ISS, determining possible preventive measures and measures aimed at reducing morbidity and preventing the chronicity of the processes.
A characteristic feature of the modern development of clinical medicine is the constant growth of the role of laboratory diagnostics, in particular, bacteriology.
