To determine the risk of urinary tract infections in acutely ill febrile children younger than 5 years of age we obtained a urine culture from 664 children presenting to our walk-in clinic with an acute febrile episode. Only 11 children (1.7%) had significant bacteriuria. This figure is similar to the number of children who would be expected to have asymptomatic bacteriuria. These results suggest that pediatricians are not missing the diagnosis of urinary tract infection in febrile children.
为了确定5岁以下急性发热儿童发生尿路感染的风险，我们对664名到我们的门诊就诊、出现急性发热症状的儿童进行了尿培养。只有11名儿童（1.7%）有显著菌尿。这个数字与预计会有无症状菌尿的儿童数量相似。这些结果表明，儿科医生没有漏诊发热儿童的尿路感染。
