Abstract:

Objective To analyze clinical characteristics of 147 children with urinary tract infection in the hospital and to provide reference basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment by combining the progress of new researches at home and abroad. Methods The descriptive clinical epidemiological method was applied to conduct retrospective analysis on 147 hospitalized cases with urinary tract infection in the hospital from May 2016 to May 2020. Results The 88 out of 147 cases were male patients, accounting for 59.86%; the number of patients in the infancy stage ranked top, hitting 63 cases(42.86%). Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli were common in urine cultures; Cephalosporin antibiotics was used to treat 136 cases(92.52%), in which 132 cases(89.80%) were treated with third-generation cephalosporin; 22 cases of 45 children(48.89%) undergoing excretory cystoureterography suffered from vesicoureteral reflux. Conclusion Urinary tract infection is a common disease in children, and it is easy to cause recurrent infection due to its close relation with urinary tract malformations especially vesicoureteral reflux. Early diagnosis and treatment and search for its potential malformation can prevent recurrence and improve prognosis of urinary tract infection.
