Risk of Urinary Tract Infection in Infants and Children with Acute Bronchiolitis

Objectives

: To estimate the prevalence of urinary tract infection in infants and children with bronchiolitis.

Methods

: A retrospective cross-sectional study involving patients zero to 24 months of age who were hospitalized with acute

bronchiolitis was conducted.

Results

: A total of 835 pediatric patients with acute bronchiolitis were admitted to the pediatric ward between January 2010 and

December 2012. The mean (± SD) age at diagnosis was 3.47±2.99 months. There were 325 (39%) girls and 510 (61%) boys. For the

purpose of data analysis, the patient population was divided into three groups: group 1 included children hospitalized with respiratory

syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis; group 2 included children hospitalized with clinical bronchiolitis with no virus detected; and

group 3 included children hospitalized with clinical bronchiolitis due to a respiratory virus other than RSV. Results revealed that

urinary tract infection was present in 10% of patients and was most common in group 3 (13.4%) followed by group 2 (9.7%) and was

least common in group 1 (6%) (P=0.030).

Conclusions

: The possibility of a urinary tract infection should be considered in a febrile child with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis,

particularly if the trigger is a respiratory virus other than RSV.
