Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pediatric kidney transplant recipients: to treat or not to treat? A retrospective study
2019
Background
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common infectious complications in kidney transplant recipients (KTR); asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is also frequent. It is unclear whether treatment of AB reduces subsequent UTI in KTR; no guideline is available in pediatric KTR. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the incidence of AB in pediatric KTR and the impact of screening and treating AB on the onset of subsequent UTI.
