Abstract
AIM: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the frequency of significant bacteriuria and antibiotic resistance characteristics in children with myelodysplasia in whom clean intermittent catheterization was administered. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study group was composed of 71 patients with myelodysplasia who were found to have significant bacteriuria (age: 8.20±4.57 years; 39 girls) and the control groups was composed of 49 children who were diagnosed with community-acquired urinary tract infection (age: 7.94±4.17 years; 29 girls). The patient and control groups were evaluated in terms of the microorganisms grown in urinary cultures and antibiotic resistance characteristics. The study approved by the ethics committe (14/02/2012-19/E). RESULTS: Growth of Escherichia coli (E. coli) was found with the highest rate in myelodysplasic patients. However, when compared with the control group in terms of microorganism types, an increase in the growth rates of the microorganisms excluding E. coli was observed in the patients with myelodysplasia which was close to the significance limit (p=0.055). When antibiotic resistance properties were examined, a significantly increased resistance against cotrimaxazole was found in the patient group compared to the control group (p=0.001). 84.5% of the patients were using prophylactic antibiotic including mainly co-trimoxazole. A significantly increased co-trimoxazole resistance was also found in the patients who were using prophylactic antibiotic compared to the patients who were not using prophylactic antibiotic (p=0.025). The rate of symptomatic UTI was found to be 21% in the patients with myelodysplasia and a significant increase was found in the complaints of abdominal/side pain and nausea/vomiting as well as fever in these patients compared to the patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria (p=0.029 and p=0.032, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our results show that UTI is still a significant problem in patients with myelodysplasia. In addition, they show that use of prophylactic antibiotic may increase the frequency of development of resistance and co-trimoxazole used for this objective is not a good option..
