Conclusion: in our study the prevalence of bacteriuria is 4.5% of which 3% is asymptomatic bacteriuria and 1.5% is symptomatic urinary tract infection. it is not cost-effective to screen children for asymptomatic bacteriuria. it may, be more cost-effective and useful to make studies for informing public for urinary tract infection symptoms.

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of our study was to detect the prevalence of asymptomatic pyuria and bacteriuria in primary sclıool children. Materials and methods: The prevalence of asymptomatic pyuria and bacteriuria in 506 school children selected at random from different socioeconomic levels in the city of İsparta was cletermined. Result: The prevalence of asymptomatic pyuria was 19.8% with predominance in females (23%) and there was no significant correlation between socioeconomic levels and pyuria. Bacteriuria was found in 4.5% of children. There was no difference between the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in girls and boys. Escherichia Coli is the most common agent (78%) in primary school children with significant bacteriuria. The prevalence of proteinuria was 8.7% and there was no signifıcant difference between sexes and socioeconomic groups. Conclusion: in our study the prevalence of bacteriuria is 4.5% of which 3% is asymptomatic bacteriuria and 1.5% is symptomatic urinary tract infection. it is not cost-effective to screen children for asymptomatic bacteriuria. it may, be more cost-effective and useful to make studies for informing public for urinary tract infection symptoms.

Özet

İsparta ilinde değişik sosyoekonomik kesimleri yansıtan 3 ayrı ilkokuldan rasgele örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 506 çocuğun %19.8'inde (100) piyüri tespit edildi. Piyüri kız çocuklarında daha fazla idi (p 0.05). Tüm çocukların 23'ünde (%4.5) anlamlı bakteriüri tespit edildi. Bakteriüri bakımından cinsiyetler arasında fark yoktu (p>0.05). Bakteriürili çocuklarda etiyolojik ajan olarak en sık (%78) E. coli'ye rastlandı. Proteinüri prevalansı kız çocuklarında %9.6, erkek çocuklarında %7.3 ve tüm çocuklarda %8.7 olarak tespit edilmiş olup gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli fark yoktu. Sonuç olarak çalışmamızda bakteriüri prevalansı %4.5'dir. Bunun %3'ü asemptomatik bakteriüri, %1.5'i ise semptomatik İYE'dir. Bütün çocukların asemptomatik bakteriüri açısından taranması tedavi gereği olmayabilecekken ciddi maliyet ve iş gücü gereksinimi ortaya çıkaracaktır. Hastalık semptomları açısından toplumu bilgilendirmek için yapılacak çalışmalar daha az maliyetli ve daha yararlı olabilir.
