Abstract:Objective
Systemic inflammation has been implicated in urinary tract infection (UTI) development and progression. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to determine whether the white blood cell (WBC), the C-reactive protein (CRP), the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) are useful markers to predict of urine culture growth in children with UTI. Secondly, it was also to evaluate the prevalence of UTI pathogens, antibiotic re… Show more
