Abstract


Introduction- Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections seen in patient. It may lead to renal scarring, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease. Aim- The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and changing susceptibility pattern of urinary pathogens in febrile pediatrics patients. Methods and Material- Urine specimen was collected in a sterile container with sterile precaution and used for microscopic examination (pyuria detection) and for culture and sensitivity Results- A total of 340 Children (1month to 5yrs) were evaluated in the study. Significant pyuria was seen in 72 and 36 were culture positive. Most common organism isolated was E.coli. Conclusion-To successfully eradicate UTI by empirical therapy, knowledge of local etiologic agents and their antibiotic susceptibility is of great importance.
