“…In 1961 a series of 41 patients with non-bacterial gastroenteritis were reported with 31.7% having sterile pyuria. 10 In 1965, Hart and Cherry 11 described 23 children who received OPV and showed a significant increase in polymorphonuclear cells in the urine on the 2nd to 13th day. More recently, 50 pediatric patients were reported with a positive polymerase chain reaction for human herpesvirus 6 (roseola), 34% of which had sterile pyuria.…”

Sterile pyuria is a common finding in pediatric patients. Literature describing the diagnoses as well as clinical characteristics of children with sterile pyuria is lacking. This review was performed to establish an evidence-based approach to the differential diagnosis by way of an extensive literature search. The definition of pyuria is inconsistent. The various causes of pediatric sterile pyuria identified were classified as either Infectious or Non-Infectious. Sub-categories of Infectious causes include: Viral Infection, Bacterial Infection, Other Infections (tuberculosis, fungal, parasitic), Sexually Transmitted Infections, Recent Antibiotic Therapy. Non-Infectious causes include: Systemic Disease, Renal Disease, Drug Related, Inflammation adjacent to Genitourinary Tract. Clinicians that encounter pediatric patients with sterile pyuria and persistent symptoms should consider the substantial differential diagnosis described in this study.

“…Although urinalysis showing inflammatory cells draws attention to a child who might be infected, pyuria can be found in children following simple immunization and in association with gastroenteritis. 2,3 The presumption of a urinary tract infection is based on history and urinalysis but these must be followed by a positive urine culture to be diagnostic.…”
