    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Clinical microbiology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children.
    • Understanding pathogen distribution is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Differences may exist between hospitalized and out-patient pediatric populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the distribution of microorganisms causing UTIs.
    • To compare findings between hospitalized and out-patient pediatric patients.
    • To identify the most frequent causative agents of pediatric UTIs.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-month survey of pediatric urine specimens.
    • Analysis of 2,671 consecutive urine cultures.
    • Categorization of patients into hospitalized and out-patient groups.

  • Identification of microbial species and colony counts.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 23.2% of cultures showed significant bacterial growth (≥10,000 organisms/ml).
    • Hospitalized patients had 21.8% significant growth; out-patients had 24.7%.
    • Escherichia coli was the most frequently isolated organism.
    • Polymicrobial growth was observed in 2% of in-patient and 1.5% of out-patient urines.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant bacterial growth in pediatric urine cultures is common in both settings.
    • E. coli is the predominant pathogen in pediatric UTIs.
    • Minor differences in polymicrobial infections were noted between groups.
