Staphylococcus saprophyticus commonly causes urinary tract infection (UTI) in young women; in males it is found mainly in the elderly. In this study S. saprophyticus UTI occurred in 59 children (45 girls and 14 boys) below 16 years of age, of whom 20 were less than 13 years of age. The common presentation was dysuria and flank or back pain whereas fever > or = 38.5 degrees C was rare. Radiological investigation performed in 63% of the children revealed no anomalies of importance. Children with S. saprophyticus UTI appear to constitute a group with a low frequency of urinary tract anomalies and with a low risk of UTI caused by other bacteria.
腐生葡萄球菌通常在年轻女性中引起尿路感染(UTI);在男性中,它主要见于老年人。在本研究中,59名16岁以下儿童(45名女孩和14名男孩)发生了腐生葡萄球菌UTI,其中20名年龄小于13岁。常见表现为排尿困难和胁腹或背部疼痛,而体温≥38.5℃很少见。63%的儿童进行了影像学检查,未发现重要异常。患有腐生葡萄球菌UTI的儿童似乎构成了一个尿路异常发生率低且由其他细菌引起UTI风险低的群体。
