Han SS, et al. - Whether or not a correlation exists between interleukin-8 receptor polymorphisms and urinary tract infection (UTI) susceptibility was investigated via analyzing appropriate studies focusing on C-X-C chemokine receptor type 1 and/or 2 (CXCR1, CXCR2) polymorphisms with susceptibility to UTI. Researchers analyzed 8 case-control studies including 2085 patients with UTI and 2012 controls for this study. Observations suggest that in children, an increased risk of UTI might be observed in association with CXCR1 rs2234671 polymorphism.
