BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTI) constitute a common cause of morbidity in infants and children. When associated with abnormalities of urinary tract, they may lead to long-term complications including renal scarring, loss of function and hypertension. Most urinary tract infections remain undiagnosed if investigations are not routinely performed to detect them. Prompt detection and treatment of urinary tract infections and any complicating factors are important. The objective of the study is to know the clinical, epidemiological and bacteriological profile (i.e. clinical signs and symptoms, age, sex, family history, associated urinary tract abnormalities, & causative organisms) of urinary tract infections in febrile children with culture positive urinary tract infection. METHODS This descriptive, cross sectional observational study was conducted at outpatient clinics of our “child health clinics” between May 2016 and April 2017 (one year). All children aged 0 to 12 years with culture positive urinary tract infections were included in this study to evaluate the clinical, epidemiological and bacteriological profile. RESULTS A total of 69 children with culture positive urinary tract infections were included in this study. Out of 69 children included in this study, 36 (52.2 %) were females and 33 (47.8 %) were males. Overall female preponderance was seen and the M: F ratio was 0.9:1. But during first year of life in our study group we had more boys (10, 14.49 %) affected with urinary tract infection than girls. 49.3 % of urinary tract infections in the present study belonged to lower socio-economic status. Most common organism causing urinary tract infection in our group was E. coli (56.5 %). Fever (100 %), anorexia or refusal of feeds (52.2 %), dysuria (46.4 %), vomiting (46.4 %) and abdominal pain (39.1 %) were the predominant clinical manifestations observed in our study. CONCLUSIONS Urinary tract infection is a common medical problem in children and it should be considered as a potential cause of fever in children. As febrile children with urinary tract infection usually present with non-specific signs and symptoms, urine culture should be considered as a part of diagnostic evaluation.

This study aimed to find bacterial profile of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children between 2 months to 15 years of age. This is a hospital based retrospective study conducted at Gandaki medical college and teaching hospital, Pokhara over a period of 18 months. Among the total 575 children enrolled for the study, 110 children (19.1%) were found to be culture positive. Most common age group having culture positivity is 1-5 years (40%). Present study showed that UTI is more common in girls (69.1%) than in boys (30.9%). E. coli was still the most commonly isolated bacteria (70.9%) followed by Proteus (20%), Klebsiella (5.4%) and Pseudomonas sp. in (1.8%). E. coli was sensitive to Nitrofurantoin (84.6 %), Amikacin (80.7%), Gentamicin (73%) and Ofloxacin in (53.8%). Most commonly used drugs for the treatment of UTI like Cefixime and Ceftriaxone was sensitive only in 15% and 10% respectively. Similarly, Klebsiella was sensitive to Amikacin and Gentamicin (100%) but sensitive to Nitrofurantoin in only 66% of cases. Proteus was sensitive to Nitrofurantoin (95.4%), Amikacin (86%) and to Gentamicin (59%). High resistance rate was observed to Cefixime and Ceftriaxone, the commonly used drugs for its treatment in OPD basis.

Background : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial disease in infant and childhood period that can present as symptomatic or asymptomatic way.Antibiotic resistance of urinary tract pathogens has been known to increase worldwide, especially to commonly used antimicrobials. Knowledge of pathogens causing UTI and their antimicrobial resistance patterns in a specific geographical location may help clinicians in choosing the appropriate antimicrobial agent.Objective : The objective of this study was to find out the pathogens in pediatric UTI and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern.Methods : A cross sectional study was done at Dhaka shishu Hospital during the period of Feb 2016 to Aug 2016. A total of 147 culture positive UTI patient were taken for analysis. Colony counts of these samples, were identified, and the profile of antibiotic susceptibility was identified. Here, samples with a colony count of 105 CFU/mL bacteria were considered positive.Twelve (12) antimicrobial agent were used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Result : Among 147 culture positive UTI patients Escherichia coli (E-coli) was found as the most prevalent 103(70%) followed by Klebsiella spp. 13.6%, Enterobacterspp 3.40%, Pseudomonas 5.44%, Staphylococcus Aureus 3.40%, Enterococcus 1.36% and Proteus 2.72%. The most effective drugs found against urinary isolates was Imepenum (97.27%), followed by Colistin (94.55%), Meropenum (93.87%) and Amikacin (91.83%). E.coli was moderately sensitive to Ceftraxone, Ceftazidime, Nitrofurantoin and Ciprofloxacin.Conclusion : In this study, Imipenum, Meropenum, Amikacin and Colistin shown to be the most sensitive antibiotics for the UTI pathogen. Antimicrobial drug resistance is increasing among urinary pathogens. Therefore, empirical antibiotic selection should be based on knowledge of the local prevalence of bacterial organism and their antibiotic susceptibility in a specific area rather than on universal or even national guidelines.Northern International Medical College Journal Vol.8(2) January 2017: 220-223
