    Summary

    Urinary tract infections are a significant cause of urolithiasis in children, with Proteus species being a common culprit. Recurrent infections were frequently linked to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella species.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Urolithiasis in children presents unique etiological challenges.
    • Understanding the causes and associated infections is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the causes of urolithiasis in pediatric patients.
    • To investigate the prevalence and types of urinary tract infections (UTIs) associated with childhood urolithiasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 100 pediatric urolithiasis cases treated between 1976-1979.
    • Bacteriological investigations of urine samples at diagnosis and during follow-up.
    • Bacteriological analysis of removed stones in select cases.

    Main Results:

    • Infection-induced stones were the most common cause (31%), followed by metabolic (26%) and idiopathic oxalic lithiasis (17%).
    • Urinary tract infections were detected in 57.4% of children at diagnosis, with Proteus sp. being the most frequent pathogen.
    • During a 3-year follow-up, recurrent UTIs were common, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella sp., Proteus sp., and E. coli being the predominant bacteria.

    Conclusions:

    • Infection is a primary driver of pediatric urolithiasis.
    • Effective management requires addressing both stone disease and underlying/recurrent urinary tract infections.
    • Bacteriological analysis of stones can be valuable in identifying infectious etiologies.
