Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in infants; it might be associated with underlying renal anomalies.
Early detection and treatment are important to prevent morbidities and improve patients’ outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the most common underlying organisms and the associated urological anomalies in infants with UTIs.
Design: A Retrospective Study.
Setting: Pediatrics Department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain.
Methods: All medical records of infants below one year of age with confirmed UTI admitted between June 2015 and June 2017 were reviewed.
Results: One hundred twenty-five infants with UTI were included in the study, 85 (68%) were males.
Median age was 29 days (range 2 to 329).
Fever, 74 (59.2%), and neonatal jaundice, 46 (33.6%), were the most common clinical presentation.
The most common pathogens were Escherichia coli in 69 (55.2%) followed by Klebsiella pneumonia in 44 (35.2%) patients.
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase organisms were found in 44 (35.2%) patients.
Recurrent UTI were documented in 15 (12%) patients.
Eighty-three (66.4%) patients had renal ultrasound; 29 (23.2%) had urological anomalies.
Hydronephrosis was found in 19 (15.2%) patients; 11 (8.8%) had bilateral hydronephrosis and seven (5.6%) had unilateral hydronephrosis.
Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) was seen in 15 (12%) patients; 10 (8%) had bilateral VUR.
Conclusions: Escherichia coli remain the most common causative organism for UTIs in infants.
Approximately one-third of infants with UTIs had urological anomalies.
