Abstract

We describe two otherwise healthy children with pyelonephritis caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis. We conclude that S. epidermidis can be a urinary tract pathogen in children without indwelling catheters or other obvious medical problems. Physicians should not automatically assume that S. epidermidis is a contaminant in urine cultures.

摘要

我们描述了两名原本健康的儿童，他们患有由表皮葡萄球菌引起的肾盂肾炎。我们得出结论，在没有留置导管或其他明显医疗问题的儿童中，表皮葡萄球菌可能是一种泌尿道病原体。医生不应想当然地认为表皮葡萄球菌是尿培养中的污染物。
