385 JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, Hue University, N 0 61, 2010 THE INCIDENCE AND CAUSATIVE BACTERIA OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION IN CHILDREN FROM 2 MONTHS TO 6 YEARS OLD IN SOME AREAS OF HAI PHONG, VIETNAM IN 2008 Nguyen Ngoc Sang, Dang Van Chuc Hai Phong Medical University SUMMARY This study was done to assess the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children from 2 months to 6 years old in some areas of Haiphong Vietnam, and bacterial causes and their antibiotic sensitivity on antibiogram from July to October 2007. Method: This was a cross-sectional study including the screening of clean voiding midstream samples in the morning for UTI. UTI was defined as the combination of both leucocyturia (≥ 30/mm 3 urine) and bacteriuria (≥ 10 5 /ml urine). Results and Conclusions: The common incidence rate was 2.8%, UTI affected more girls than boys (3.3% vs. 2.2%). Causal bacteria was mainly negative gram and E. coli ranks first then Proteus and Klebsiella. In addition, we found other bacteria such as Enterobacter and Citrobacter. The bacteria was resistant to oral antibiotics but still sensitive to the third generation of cephalosporines, amikacines and quinolone group. Keyword: Urinary Tract Infection in children. 1. Introduction Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a disease commonly found in children. According to the WHO 3-8% of young girls and 1-3.0% of young boys have contracted UTIs by the age of seven. UTIs may cause kidney scars (15.1%), which results in dangerous complications as the child grows older. These include anemia, hypertension (7-17%), prenatal convulsion, puerperal eclampsia in girls as they grow up, kidney failure and final stage kidney diseases. UTI causes considerable damage to the economy: The US government has to spend US$ 1.6 billion per year on UTI. UTI bacteria have grown resistant to antibiotics at a high level. We posed the questions: What is the rate of UTI researched in hospitals and in the community?, is UTI bacteria the same as the UTI bacteria in hospital and what is their sensitivity to antibiotics? In order to answer these questions, we conducted this study with an aim to identify the UTI incidence among children aged between two months and six years of age in a number of areas in Haiphong, Vietnam 386 and identify the causal bacteria and their sensitivity to antibiotics on an antibiogram. 2. Methods 2.1. Subject and research period - All children between two months and six years of age in a number of areas in Haiphong Vietnam. - Research period: July 2007 through October 2007. - UTI diagnosis criteria: urinary leukocyte ≥ 30/mm 3 and urinary bacteria ≥ 10 5 /ml of urine. 2.2. Methods - Research area: 3 selected districts, including Kien An (urban), Kien Thuy (coastal) and Thuy Nguyen (rural). 9 selected wards/ communes include Nam Son, Trang Minh and Van Dau (Kien An), Dai Ha, Tan Trao and Ngu Doan (Kien Thuy), Phuc Le, Lap Le and Pha Le (Thuy Nguyen). - Research design: Cross-sectional study. - Sample size: calculated with the following formula:   2 2 2/1 1 d pp Zn     n: Sample size researched Z 2 1-α/2 = 1.96 (reliability: 95%) p = 0.04 ( UTI rate in children in a ward of Hong Bang district, Haiphong, according to a study conducted by Nguyen Ngoc Sang et al 2005) d: desired accuracy = (p*)  = 0.2 Applying the formula, we calculated that the number of children to be researched is around 4610. - Sampling: Sampling was done with the multi-stage method. In stage 1 districts were deliberately selected. In stage 2 communes/ wards were randomly selected and in stage 3 households were randomly selected. - Data collection: Urine screening includes 3 steps: Step 1. Urinary leukocyte screening. A US made 10-parameter urine analyzing machine - Model TC 101-TECO was used to screen urinary leukocytes. If there are ≥ 30 leukocytes per mm 3 then the urine 387 sample of this child was transferred in order to cultivate and divide bacteria. Midstream urine was collected in the morning. The genital area was washed clean with soapy water the night before and before the urine is obtained. Step 2. Cultivating urine to identify urinary leukocytes: In accordance with the process of the World Health Organization to detect and determine the name of bacteria. Step 3. Make an antibiogram in order to determine the sensitivity of the bacteria to the antibiotics: according to the Kirby - Bauer method. - Data processing: SPSS software is used to enter and process the data. Calculate the percentage, degree of sensitivity, intermediate and resistance of bacteria. 3. Results - 4,631 children were urine screened, of whom 2,268 were boys (49%); 2,363 girls (51%); 1,603 rural children (34.6%); 1,568 coastal children (33.9%); 1,460 urban children (31.5%). There were 618 babies between two and twelve months of age (13.3%), 1,396 babies were between one and under three years of age (40,9%) and 2,120 were between 3 and 6 years old (45.8%). - Genenal UTI rate: 128 out of 4,631 children were found as having both urinary leukocytes and bacteria in accordance with UTI criteria, accounting for 2.8%, of which the UTI rate among girls is 79/2,363 (3.3%) and boys is 49/2,268 (2.2%). The UTI rate among the children aged between 2 months and under one year is 2.8% (17/618), those aged 1 and under 3 years is 3.2% (61/1893) and those aged between 3 and 6 is 2.4% (30/2120). - The bacterium subdivided primarily is E.coli: 59/128 (46.09%), followed by Proteus: 28/128 (21.87%), Klebsiella: 22/128 (17.18%), Enterobacter 13/128 (10.15%) and Citrobacter: 6/128 (4.71%). - The sensitivity of the bacteria to antibiotics on the antibiogram.

Discussions UTI rate among children aged between two months and six years in some areas of Haiphong is 2.8%. This findings conform to that by Steven 2.8-4.2%, bigger than that of Gram1.2% and Kikuo 0.28%. By gender, we found that UTI rate in boys (2.2%) is lower than that in girls (3.3%), a statistical difference. This findings are closer to those found in the study by 391 Gal, Steven and WHO : 1-3% boys and 6-8% girls contracted UTI respectively. We found a distinct difference in UTI rate in the three age groups: 2 months and under 1 years, 1 to less than 3 years and 3 to 6 years old. UTI rate by age group is 2.8%, 3.2% and 2.4% respectively. However, according to Steven the UTI rate is higher among babies aged one than over one year of age. All the causal bacteria we managed to subdivide are negative gram ones, with E.coli ranked first, followed by Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterobactrer and Citrobacter. Our findings conform to those obtained in the research by Arreguin, Prais and Steven. UTI causing bacteria in the community are also similar to their counterparts in the hospital. The sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics on the antibiogram: Most antibiotics orally used to treat UTI, such as co-trimoxazole, ampixiline, amoxiciline and chloramphenicol are strongly resisted. This findings conform to that of Arreguin, Prais. However, third generation antibiotics of the group cephalosporine, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacine are still sensitive. This findings conform to that of Tran Dinh Long at al. 5. Conclusions UTI incidence rate in children aged between two months and six years in the community is 2.8%, and the rate is higher in girls than in boys (3.3% vs. 2.2%). The causal bacteria are mostly gram negative, firstly E.coli, followed by Proteus, and then Klebsiella. In addition, there are some other bacteria such as Enterobacter and Citrobacter. The bacteria resisted against common antibiotics taken orally to treat UTI. However, they are still sensitive to third generation cephalosporine, amikacine and quinolone group. REFERENCES 1.
