Asymptomatic bacteriuria in school children.
We studied 2447 asymptomatic school children by microscopic examination of urine and culture of a clear voided midstream specimen of urine. Only three children had bacteriuria (0.12%). Urographic abnormalities were detected in both the cases, which could be investigated. This study has shown that asymptomatic bacteriuria is comparatively rare in our community; however where there is bacteriuria, renal damage is common.
