Abstract

The role of Streptococcus pneumoniae as an agent of septicemia, pneumonia and meningitis is well known. However, published reports of urinary system inf ection associated with S.pneumoniae are scarce. S.pneumoniae should be considered as a possible cause of urinary inf ection. Here, we report a case of S.pneumoniae cystitis in a 6-year old girl. The child presented to the pediatric emergency room with cystitis symptoms. S.pneumoniae was isolated in urine culture. Penicillin susceptibility was tested with oxacillin disc as recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The isolate was suscep- tible to penicillin. This case is presented to draw attention to patients with urinary system inf ections due to S.pneumoniae, without any urinary system anomalies.

Özet

Streptococcus pneumoniae’nın sepsis, pnömoni ve menenjit etkeni olduğu iyi bilinmektedir. S.pneumoniae’ya bağlı üriner sistem inf eksiyonu nadir olarak bildirilmekle birlikte, S.pneumoniae’nın üriner sistem inf eksiyonuna neden olabileceği bilinmektedir. Bizim çalışmamızda bildirilen altı yaşında kadın hasta, çocuk acil servisine sistit bulgularıyla gelmiştir. İdrar kültüründe S.pneumoniae izole edilmiştir. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) önerileri doğrultusunda Kirby- Bauer disk dif üzyon yöntemi kullanılarak oksasilin ile penisilin duyarlılığı test edilmiş, penisilin duyarlı bulunmuştur. Bu olgu; herhangi bir üriner sistem anomalisi olmayan hastada S.pneumoniae’ya bağlı gelişen üriner inf eksiyona dikkat çekmek amacıyla sunulmuştur.
