[Asymptomatic urinary infections in children].
Asymptomatic urinary tract infection is diagnosed on the usual criterion used for urinary tract infections in children (at least 10(5) organisms per ml). There are no clinical manifestations. These asymptomatic infections are due to organisms with little infective potential and no harmful effects on the urinary tract or renal parenchyma. In patients with no malformations of the urinary tract, antimicrobial treatment is unnecessary.
