We describe 3 children with urinary tract abnormalities and large numbers of Streptococcus pneumoniae in their urine, along with a brief review of previously reported cases. These findings strongly suggest that S. pneumoniae is a uropathogen, especially in children with urinary tract abnormalities.
我们描述了3例患有泌尿系统异常且尿液中存在大量肺炎链球菌的儿童病例,并简要回顾了先前报道的病例。这些发现强烈表明,肺炎链球菌是一种尿路病原体,尤其是在患有泌尿系统异常的儿童中。
