Résumé
Urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnosis in infants is often made by a positive urine culture result, regardless of urine dipstick findings. To assess parameters that may affect positive urine culture results interpretation in infants, including dipstick performance, obtainment method, bacteria type, age and laboratory results. A retrospective, cohort study. Infants <90 days with urine dipstick and culture obtained through subrapubic aspiration (SPA) or catheter, 2015-2016, were included. Overall, 19% (129/678) of cultures were positive. The dipstick sensitivity was 51% for all cultures; 66%, 47%, 15% and 10% for Urine cultures in infants should be obtained by SPA, since catheter-obtained,
