| In this study, 100 febrile infants suffering from Urinary tract infection (rectal temperature > 38°C) who presented to the Pediatric Clinic or Emergency Department of Babylon Maternity and Children Hospital from February2008 to June2008 underwent a history and physical examination. In this study, Escherichia coli formed the major causative agent (49%) followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (25%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18%) and Proteus species (8%). E. coli isolates showed sensitivity to Amikacin, Chloromphenicol, Nitrofurantoin, Ofloxacin, Norfloxacin, while Pseudomonas aeruginosa shows sensitivity with Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, Piperacillin, Tobramycin, Proteus species shows sensitivity with Amikacin, Amoxicillin , Cefodizime, Cefoxitin, Cephalexin, Gentamycin, , Norfloxacin, Piperacillin, Tobramycin and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates shows sensitivity with Amikacin, Norfloxacin, Piperacillin, Tobramycin. Our investigation showed that from the 100 febrile infants with UTI, 57 had pyuria > 5 WBCs/hpf, 90 had pyuria >10 WBCs/mL, 77 had CRP >24 mg/L, 82 had ESR >35 mm/hour, and 44 had WBC >15 000/mL. | ||
