Abstract

Haemophilus influenzae, particularly in children, causes local and systemic infections such as meningitis, pneumonia, epiglottitis, otitis media, sinusitis and bacteremia. This bacterium has rarely been implicated as the causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. Most of the reported cases on UTIs due to H. influenzae were associated with urinary tract abnormalities and/or recurrent UTIs. Because of the inability of H. influenzae to grow in standard media commonly used for urine cultures, the true incidence of UTIs due to this potential pathogen is unknown. In this report, we present a case of UTI caused by H. influenzae in a 17-year-old boy with bilateral nephrolithiasis and hydronephrosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of UTI caused by H. influenzae in Turkey.

Özet

Haemophilus influenzae, özellikle çocuklarda, menenjit, pnömoni, epiglottit, otitis media, sinüzit ve bakteriyemi gibi lokal ve sistemik enfeksiyonlara yol açmaktadır. Bu bakteri, çocuklarda üriner sistem enfeksiyonlarının (ÜSİ) etkeni olarak nadiren izole edilmiştir. H. influenzae'ye bağlı olarak gelişen ÜSİ ile ilgili bildirilen olguların çoğu, üriner sistem anormallikleri ve/veya tekrarlayan ÜSİ ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. H. influenzae'nın idrar kültürleri için yaygın olarak kullanılan standart besiyerlerinde ürememesi nedeniyle, bu potansiyel patojene bağlı olarak gelişen ÜSİ'nın gerçek insidansı bilinmemektedir. Bu raporda, bilateral nefrolitiyazisi ve hidronefrozu olan 17 yaşındaki bir erkek çocukta H. influenzae'ya bağlı olarak gelişen ÜSİ olgusunu sunuyoruz. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, Türkiye'de bildirilen H. influenzae'nın etkeni olduğu ilk ÜSİ olgusudur.
