Abstract

The objective of this work is to determine through diagnostic tests the presence of urinary tract infection in children under 12 years old in the village called “San Marcos” located at 24 km from Juigalpa Chontales. It is estimated that it has 45 homes where 38 children are taken as the study population. In addition, they meet the inclusion criteria for this research. In those children, the UTI can be grouped as a first episode. It is usually benign, or as recurrent UTI, which can cause glomerular damage and kidney scar formation. From 10 to 30% of patients present complications, such as hypertension (HT), proteinuria and chronic renal failure. Children with high risk of developing kidney scars should be identified early with diagnostic measures for a proper treatment. It is a quantitative research supported by a descriptive design with the participation of children under 12 years old who live in that village. The universe was 38 children with inclusion criteria regarding the age, so the sample consisted of 30 children from the total study population. From the 100% of the analyzed samples, 10% of them presented cellular alterations that lead to an IVU in the General Urine Examination with predominance of affection in female sex from 4-5 years old. Escherichia coli bacteria were isolated in 10% of them with the urine culture diagnostic tool.
