Forty-nine children with urinary tract infection aged between 15 days and 10 years were studied. Thirty-three of them (67.3%) had urinary tract malformations. We valued the following parameters: a) White Blood Cells; b) Leukocyte differential; c) ESR at the first hour; d) CRP; e) Concentration ability; f) Body temperature. We wanted to investigate the usefulness of these parameters to predict which patients should be studied by X-ray of urinary tract. Single parameters did not prove very sensitive; the highest correlations were found with ESR and CRP, which were positive in 76% of the cases of malformations. Furthermore we valued the sensitivity and specificity of the tests grouped together: the highest values of sensitivity (97%) and specificity (31%) were obtained coupling the ESR and concentration ability.
对49名年龄在15天至10岁之间的尿路感染儿童进行了研究。其中33名（67.3%）患有尿路畸形。我们评估了以下参数：a）白细胞；b）白细胞分类；c）第1小时血沉；d）C反应蛋白；e）浓缩能力；f）体温。我们想研究这些参数对预测哪些患者应接受尿路X线检查的有用性。单一参数的敏感性并不高；血沉和C反应蛋白的相关性最高，在76%的畸形病例中呈阳性。此外，我们评估了组合测试的敏感性和特异性：血沉和浓缩能力相结合时，获得了最高的敏感性（97%）和特异性（31%）值。
