Abstract :

Urinary tract infection diagnosis is based on urine culture, taken from a midstream collection in the morning. Obtaining samples in this manner is difficult in children less than 3 years. In children less than 3 years, urine is obtained by urine collectors. Using urine collectors may cause discomfort, and the possibility that the urine collectors may not adhere resulting in contamination. (1) Developing a practical method for urine sample collection. (2) Comparing culture from diapers and urine collectors samples. (3) Knowing the limit time for using diapers acceptable for urine culture. Urine samples were obtained from 20 children less than 3 years, using urine collectors and diapers used for 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours and then cultured. Majority of the urine culture from diapers used for 1 hour and 2 hours showed the same result with the urine culture from urine collectors. Contamination was found in the urine culture result from diapers used for 3 hours. Urine samples from diapers used for 1 hour and 2 hours can be used as samples for urine culture. The technique is easy and can be done in children less than 3 years.
