Abstract

Background: MALNUTRITION is common in developing and under developing countries and URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) is a well-recognized complication in malnourished children.Materials and Methods: We examined the incidence of UTI, BACTERIURIA AND PYURIA in Malnourished children. Of 61 patients (19 boys) 1 had severe, 15 had moderate and 45 had mild malnoutrition. A normally nourished control matched for age, sex and presence of fever was included. Clean catch midstream urine specimens from patients and control group were examined microscopically and cultured. Results: The incidence of UTI, BACTERIURIA AND PYURIA in malnourished subjects was 44% and 13 % respectively. The incidence of UTI, BACTERIURIA AND PYURIA in control children was 19 % and 11% respectively .E.coli is predominantly organism isolated in patient and control group.Conclusions: Our observations show that malnourished children are at risk for UTI. Urinalysis and urine culture is useful for screening for UTI in these subjects.
