|
We analyzed the results of the urine cultures performed in 277 patients admitted to the pediatric department of Yeungnam University Hospital from May 1, 1983 to October 31, 1984.
There were 31 patients (11. 2%) of urinary tract infection. Among the 31 patients, 19 were male (61.3%) and 12 were female (38.7%).
According to the age group, female patients (6) were more than male (2) in newborn but male patients (17) were more than female (6) after newborn period. Especially, the group of male patients between 1 to 12 months of age showed most frequent incidence compared to other group (p<0.01).
There were no significant correlation between the degree of pyuria and the presence of "significant bacteriuria".
Documented "significant bacteriuria" without pyuria were 11 cases in 24 "significant bacteriuria" cases.
In newborn, 6 cases of "significant bacteriuria" without pyuria were detected in all 8 cases of "significant bacteriuria" (p<0.025).
E. coli was the most common etiologic agent (77.4%).
