“…Os pacientes que apresentavam leucocitúria na internação entre 10 e 100.000/m 3 e não tinham nenhum sinal clínico de infecção, eram liberados para cirurgia, considerando que muitos pacientes com mielomeningocele tem bacteriúria persistente sem ITU. O diagnóstico de ITU foi dado a todo paciente com urocultura positiva 12,13 . Neste estudo, consideramos apenas as ITUs diagnosticadas na internação referente ao procedimento avaliado, com resultado de urocultura posterior à cirurgia.…”

Lower counts were considered contamination.…”
