Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTI) may be masked by symptoms of gastroenteritis or respiratory infections, especially in children younger than 2 years old. In order to prevent the long term sequelae -that is hypertension and chronic renal failure- of UTI, early diagnosis & treatment is very important. We aimed to investigate the incidence of UTI in patients with respiratory symptoms. Urine culture was taken from 188 patients who were admitted-to our hospital between October 1999 and November 2001 with signs of lower or upper respiratory tract infections and without UTI history. The patients' ages were between 2 months and 16 years. UTI was diagnosed in 12 of (14.8%) 81 patients below 2 years, 2 of (4.2%) 47 patients between 2-5 years, 4 of (6.6%) 60 patients over 5 years. UTI incidence was significantly higher in children below 2 years (p

Özet

İdrar yolu enfeksiyonu (İYE) çocukluk döneminde özellikle ilk iki yaşta üriner sisteme özgü olmayan solunum yolu enfeksiyonu, gastroenterit gibi farklı sistem bulguları ile maskelenebilir. Küçük yaşlarda geçirilen İYE renal skar gelişimi sonucu ileri yaşlarda kronik böbrek yetmezliği ve hipertansiyona yol açabileceğinden erken tanı ve tedavi önemlidir. Bu nedenle, hastanemiz pediatri polikliniğine solunum yolu enfeksiyonu bulguları ile başvuran hastalarda İYE sıklığının araştırılması planlandı. Bu amaçla Ekim 1999-Kasım 2001 tarihleri arasında başvuran, daha önce İYE geçirmemiş ve muayenede alt veya üst solunum sistemi enfeksiyonu bulguları olan, ateşli veya ateşsiz 2 ay-16 yaş arası 101 erkek, 87 kız toplam 188 hastadan idrar kültürü alındı. İki yaş altı 81 hastanın 12'sinde (%14.8), 2-5 yaş arası 47 hastanın 2'sinde (%4.2) ve 5-16 yaş arası 60 hastanın 4'ünde (%6.6) idrar yolu enfeksiyonu saptandı. İki yaş altı grupta İYE sıklığı anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p
