Abstract

Unlabelled: The importance of ultrasonography after the first febrile urinary tract infection has been recently challenged. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ultrasonography in detection of significant non-reflux abnormalities in the kidneys and the urinary tract, and to determine whether these findings influence treatment in these children. The clinical data and ultrasonography results of 155 children admitted to a university hospital with the first febrile urinary tract infection were analysed retrospectively. Renal ultrasonography was abnormal in 23 patients (14.8%). The major portion of these patients (81%) were younger than 2 years of age. Management of nine of these patients was changed based primarily on ultrasonography findings. Four of these patients were treated operatively.

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that ultrasonography performed after the first urinary tract infection may offer clinically important information about non-reflux abnormalities in the kidneys and urinary tract that can affect the management of children with these complications.

小儿首次发热性尿路感染后的超声检查。

未标记:首次发热性尿路感染后超声检查的重要性最近受到了挑战。本研究的目的是评估超声在检测肾脏和尿路明显非反流异常中的作用，并确定这些发现是否会影响这些儿童的治疗。回顾性分析我院收治的155例首次发热性尿路感染患儿的临床资料及超声检查结果。肾超声检查异常23例(14.8%)。这些患者的主要部分(81%)小于2岁。其中9例患者的处理主要基于超声检查结果而改变。其中4例接受手术治疗。结论:我们的研究结果表明，首次尿路感染后进行的超声检查可能为肾脏和尿路非反流异常提供重要的临床信息，这些信息可能影响这些并发症的处理。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of Pediatrics (EJPE) is a leading peer-reviewed medical journal which covers the entire field of pediatrics. The editors encourage authors to submit original articles, reviews, short communications, and correspondence on all relevant themes and topics. EJPE is particularly committed to the publication of articles on important new clinical research that will have an immediate impact on clinical pediatric practice. The editorial office very much welcomes ideas for publications, whether individual articles or article series, that fit this goal and is always willing to address inquiries from authors regarding potential submissions. Invited review articles on clinical pediatrics that provide comprehensive coverage of a subject of importance are also regularly commissioned. The short publication time reflects both the commitment of the editors and publishers and their passion for new developments in the field of pediatrics. EJPE is active on social media (@EurJPediatrics) and we invite you to participate. EJPE is the official journal of the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) and publishes guidelines and statements in cooperation with the EAP.
