INTRODUCTION
•Most common seriousbacterial infection in young
children
•5% of febrile infants
•Prevalence
•In 1st year: M : F :: 2.8 5.4:1
‐
•>1 year, striking female predominance, M:F ::
1:10
•Higher in uncircumcised boys
4.
DEFINITI
ON UTI
• Tissueresponse to the presence of
significant proliferating bacteria in
the urine
• Includes infection of any
component of the urinary tract
including
•Pyelonephritis
•Cystitis
•Urethritis
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria: a
positive urine culture without any
urinary symptoms, common in
adolescent girls
5.
DEFINITIONS
• Simple UTI:UTI with low grade fever, dysuria,
frequency, and urgency; and absence of symptoms
of complicated UTI
• Complicated UTI: Presence of fever >39ºC,
systemic toxicity, persistent vomiting, dehydration,
renal angle tenderness and raised creatinine.
• Recurrent infection: Second episode of UTI.
6.
DEFINITIONS
• Significant bacteriuria:Colony count of
100,000 /mL of a single species in a midstream clean
catch sample.
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria: Significant bacteriuria
in the absence of symptoms of urinary tract
infection (UTI).
7.
ETIOL
OGY
•Majority caused bybacteria : most important
Enterobacteriaciae: family of gram negative
‐ bacilli.
•>80% acute UTIs caused by: Escherichia coli
•Other causes
•Proteus mirabilis
• Klebsiella pneumoniae
•Pseudomonsa aeruginosa
•Less common: Gram positive
‐ cocci
•Enterococcus and Staphylococcus saprophyticus
8.
OTHER CAUSATIVE
ORGANISMS
Fungal infections,particularly Candida, usually in :
1. Nosocomial Infections
2. Complicated UTI
3. Catheter associated
‐ UTI
Viral infections under recognized
‐ ‐ because of difficulties with
culture and identification, but have been associated with
cystitis,esp. adenovirus
Cytomegalovirus frequently seen in immunocompromised
patients, particularly following organ transplantation
9.
PATHOG
ENESIS
Ascending infection :
•Bacteriafrom fecal flora colonize
via urethra.
perineum and enter bladder
•In uncircumcised boys : pathogens arise from flora beneath the
prepuce
•Rarely, bacteria causing cystitis ascend to the kidney to cause
pyelonephritis
Hematogenous infection‐ unusual
•Neonates (GBS, E. coli, Listeria)
•GI disease with peritonitis, sepsis
•Severely ill children with multi organ
‐ disease
•Presence of urinary catheter
10.
HOST FACTORS THAT
PREDISPOSETO UTI
Age
•Uncircumcised boys
•Female infants
•Race/ethnicity
Urinary obstruction
•Neurogenic Bladder
• Dysfunctional elimination
•Vesicoureteral reflux
Sexual abuse
Bladder catheterization
Unsubstantiated risks
•Bathing
•Back to front
‐ ‐ wiping

CLINICAL FEATURES
Neonates‐ Poorfeeding,Jaundice,Vomiting,Lethargy,
Irritability, failure to gain weight and Fever +/‐‐
Infants Fever
‐ , painful micturation ,Diarrhoea,
foul smelling diapers, vomiting etc
Child Fever
‐ without focus Nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain ,dysuria ,day time urgency‐
frequency hesitancy incontinence secondary enuresis
cloudy urine and Rarely flank
‐ pain
12.
OTHER IMPORTANT
PAST
HISTORY
•Chronic urinarysymptoms
• Incontinence, lack of proper stream, frequency, urgency,
withholding maneuvers
•Previous undiagnosed febrile illnesses
•Chronic constipation
•Previous UTI
•Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)
•Antenatally diagnosed renal abnormality
•Elevated blood pressure
•Poor growth
• Child Cleancatch
‐ ‐ midstream specimen
• Neonates and infants: urine sample is by
suprapubic aspiration or transurethral bladder
catheterization.
• Urine specimen should be promptly plated within one
hour of collection.
• If delay sample can be stored in a refrigerator at 4ºc for up
to 12 24
‐ hours.
COLLECTION OF
SPECIMEN FOR
CULTURE
19.
• Leucocyturia –WBC (Pus cells)
Uncentrifuged > 10 /mm3 Centrifuged > 5 /
hpf (can occur in Fever, GN, Stones, FB in urinary
tract)
• Urinary enzymes : Leucocyte esterase,
Nitrite (combined: Moderate sensitivity and
specificity)

Catheter > 50 x 103 95%
Midstream > 105 CFU/ml 90 95%

(lower counts significant if symptoms persistent , antibiotics,
diuretics )

URINE
CULTURE -
SIGNIFICA
NCE
21.
•Contamination is suspected,e.g., mixed growth of two or more
pathogens,
•Growth of organisms that normally constitute the periurethral
flora (lactobacilli in healthy girls; enterococci in infants).
•UTI is strongly suspected but colony counts are equivocal.

MANAG
EMENT
• Relief ofacute symptoms
• Treatment of infection
• Identification of any underlying
abnormalities
• prevention of recurrence
•prevention of long term
‐ complications
23.
MANAGEMENT
• Initiate immediatelyafter culture drawn :Reduces
severity of renal scarring
• Empirical initially change as per culture
‐ & sensitivity

• Infants andchildren in complicated UTI:10‐ 14
days.
• Simple UTI: 7 10

is initiated in children below 1 year of age.
