Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections affecting any part of the urinary system. Accurate and rapid UTI diagnosis is crucial for initiating appropriate and effective treatment and preventing further complications. Traditional diagnostic methods based on culturing require specialized expertise, controlled environments for culturing urine specimens, and specific analysis environments, and these methods are time-consuming. In contrast, optical devices offer tremendous advantages, including enhanced sensitivity, user-friendliness, and portability. These devices can be integrated with conventional methods to enhance the accessibility of diagnosis techniques, especially in resource-limited settings. Further research is needed to optimize optical devices' analytical performance and cost-effectiveness to harness their full potential in UTI diagnosis. This review delves into recent advancements in optics-based devices for urinary pathogen detection. After providing a succinct overview of UTIs and existing clinical practices for their detection, diagnosis, and treatment, the most recent studies about optical diagnostic technologies for UTI diagnosis were reviewed, and an exploration of the future prospects and conclusive insights were discussed. Unveiling the potential of optical technology for UTI diagnosis promises to revolutionize healthcare and exemplifies the inexhaustible possibilities at the intersection of science and medicine.

诊断尿路感染的光学护理点装置
尿路感染(uti)是影响泌尿系统任何部分的常见细菌感染。准确和快速的尿路感染诊断对于开始适当和有效的治疗和预防进一步的并发症至关重要。传统的基于培养的诊断方法需要专门的专业知识、尿液标本培养的受控环境和特定的分析环境,而且这些方法耗时长。相比之下,光学设备提供了巨大的优势,包括增强的灵敏度、用户友好性和便携性。这些设备可以与传统方法集成,以提高诊断技术的可及性,特别是在资源有限的环境中。需要进一步的研究来优化光学器件的分析性能和成本效益,以充分利用其在尿路感染诊断中的潜力。本文综述了基于光学的尿液病原体检测装置的最新进展。在简要介绍了泌尿道感染及其检测、诊断和治疗的临床实践之后,回顾了泌尿道感染光学诊断技术的最新研究进展,并对泌尿道感染的未来前景和结论性见解进行了探讨。揭示光学技术在尿路感染诊断方面的潜力有望彻底改变医疗保健,并体现了科学和医学交叉领域的无穷无尽的可能性。
