“…(Am J Dis Child 134: [369][370][371][372]1980) It is possible to recognize the asymptomatic infant and child with significant bacteriuria.1 The purposes of this study were: (1) to define the prevalence of asymptomatic urinary infection in infants and preschool children; (2) to determine the frequency and type of urological abnormalities associated with asymptomatic and symptomatic urinary infection; and (3) to provide five-year follow-up of the infants and preschool children with Urinary infection. SUBJECTS The child's perineal area was cleaned with benzalkonium antiseptic solution applied by a trained office assistant, and the urine specimen was collected with a sterile pédiatrie collector or urine container.…”

A group of 1,617 infants and 1,711 preschool children were studied for symptomatic and asymptomatic urinary infection and followed up for three to five years. Asymptomatic bacteriuria was found in 1.8% of female infants, 0.5% of male infants, 0.8% of preschool girls, and none of the preschool boys. Seventeen percent of the infants and 13% of the preschool children with urinary infection studied roentgenographically had upper tract damage; 46% of the infants and 9% of the preschool children had vesicoureteral reflux. Infants with normal urinary tracts and urinary infection with or without reflux tended to have recurrent infection, whereas the kidneys remained anatomically normal. The infants with high-risk lesions, such as obstructive uropathy and vesicoureteral junction ectopia and deformity, had substantial bacteriuria on screening culture.

“…For similar reasons, the observations in this locale probably do not differ strikingly from those of other communities. If so, the recently available tests (7,8), which are not only simple and accurate but inexpensive as well, could allow annual screening for significant bacteriuria in the near future for most girls.…”

“…In addition to bacteriological methods (2,3,5,7,8,(10)(11)(12), chemical screening tests have been devised based upon reduction of nitrate to nitrite (the Griess test) by bacteria (4,6,9,(18)(19)(20), removal of residual amounts of glucose in the urine by bacterial action (7,13,15), presence of enzymes in urine derived from bacteria or inflammatory cells such as catalase, and reduction of tetrazolium salts by bacteria after standardized incubation of voided urine (4,16). In general, most culture methods have the advantage of being both highly sensitive and specific, providing presumptive identification and permitting subculture to obtain antimicrobial susceptibility information.…”

Several new methods for detection of bacteriuria were studied to evaluate their usefulness as screening procedures. A new filter paper device incorporating dehydrated media and tetrazolium was found to be reliable when compared with the standard pour plate method in the laboratory and with the dip-slide method in a field test. It failed to detect yeasts and slowly growing streptococci. Antibiotics blocked the test when susceptible organisms were present. An agar-cup method was found to be quite reliable, but could be improved by use of differential media. The Griess test was confirmed in a small trial to be highly specific when used in conjunction with a firsf morning specimen, but of little value with random specimens. Phenzopyridine was found to give false positive reactions. The subnormal glucose test, although highly sensitive and specific, gave too many false positive tests to be useful other than as a screening method.
