This study was done to assess the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children from 2 months to 6 years old in some areas of Haiphong Vietnam, and bacterial causes and their antibiotic sensitivity on antibiogram from July to October 2007. Method: This was a cross-sectional study including the screening of clean voiding midstream samples in the morning for UTI. | JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, Hue University, N0 61, 2010 THE INCIDENCE AND CAUSATIVE BACTERIA OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION IN CHILDREN FROM 2 MONTHS TO 6 YEARS OLD IN SOME AREAS OF HAI PHONG, VIETNAM IN 2008 Nguyen Ngoc Sang, Dang Van Chuc Hai Phong Medical University SUMMARY This study was done to assess the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children from 2 months to 6 years old in some areas of Haiphong Vietnam, and bacterial causes and their antibiotic sensitivity on antibiogram from July to October 2007. Method: This was a cross-sectional study including the screening of clean voiding midstream samples in the morning for UTI. UTI was defined as the combination of both leucocyturia (≥ 30/mm3 urine) and bacteriuria (≥ 105/ml urine). Results and Conclusions: The common incidence rate was , UTI affected more girls than boys ( vs. ). Causal bacteria was mainly negative gram and E. coli ranks first then Proteus and Klebsiella. In addition, we found other bacteria such as Enterobacter and Citrobacter. The bacteria was resistant to oral antibiotics but still sensitive to the third generation of cephalosporines, amikacines and quinolone group. Keyword: Urinary Tract Infection in children. 1. Introduction Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a disease commonly found in children. According to the WHO 3-8% of young girls and of young boys have contracted UTIs by the age of seven. UTIs may cause kidney scars (), which results in dangerous complications as the child grows older. These include anemia, hypertension (7-17%), prenatal convulsion, puerperal eclampsia in girls as they grow up, kidney failure and final stage kidney diseases. UTI causes considerable damage to the economy: The US government has to spend US$ billion per year on UTI. UTI bacteria have grown resistant to antibiotics at a high level. We posed the questions: What is the rate of UTI researched in hospitals and in the community?, is UTI bacteria the same as the UTI bacteria .
