Symptomatic urinary tract infections in high-risk Nigerian newborn infants
Abstract:
Thirty-nine high-risk newborn infants with proven urinary tract infections were studied and compared with 51 control infants. The remarkably low incidence of 0.82/1000 live births and the absence of radiological abnormalities of the urinary tract contrast with previous reports in the literature. Septicaemia and necrotizing enterocolitis were more frequently encountered in infants with urinary tract infection. Escherichia coli and klebsiella were the predominant pathogens isolated. The male preponderance to urinary tract infection is confirmed in this study. The overall mortality rate of 10.3% was closely associated with intercurrent problems.
