[Detection of nephro-urologic changes in infants using reactive strips. Experience at a puericulture practice].
In a group of 1.251 children under two (669 boys and 582 girls) that attended a puericulture office a detection program of urine alterations through reactive strips was carried out (at five and eighteen months). Eight asymptomatic bacteriurias in girls (1.37 per cent) and eight in boys (1.19 per cent) were confirmed. Of them the frequency of uropathies found was of a 37.5 per cent in girls and a 12.5 per cent in boys. Because of the frequency of asymptomatic bacteriuria, the possible associated nephrourologic alteration and the high cost of the method, we suggest the practice of this detection in primary pediatric offices on children under two.
