Forty hundred and fifty urine samples collected from school children in a rural area were screened for the presence of significant bacteriuria. The incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was found to be 7% with Predominance in females (11%) than in males (3.6%). From the total bacterial isolates E. coli were isolated in 18% of cases, Co-agulase positive staphylococci in 30%, co-agulase negative staphylococci in 15%, streptococcus pyogenes in 6%, Klebsiella species in 9% and enterococci in 21% of cases. There was no difference between the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) in younger children than in older ones. We recommended a routine screening for ABU among school children for the early diagnosis and management of such cases.
对从农村地区学童收集的450份尿液样本进行了显著菌尿症筛查。发现无症状菌尿症的发病率为7%，女性（11%）比男性（3.6%）更常见。在所有分离出的细菌中，18%的病例分离出大肠杆菌，30%为凝固酶阳性葡萄球菌，15%为凝固酶阴性葡萄球菌，6%为化脓性链球菌，9%为克雷伯菌属，21%为肠球菌。年幼儿童无症状菌尿症（ABU）的发病率与年长儿童之间没有差异。我们建议对学童进行ABU常规筛查，以便对此类病例进行早期诊断和管理。
