Özet
Background: Epidemiological data on secondary bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections generally include adult patients with urinary catheters. Aim: To evaluate the frequency and outcome of secondary bacteremia complicating healthcare-associated urinary tract infections. Material and methods: This study was conducted between May 2013 and December 2017 at the Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Hospital and included symptomatic nosocomial urinary tract infections. A total of 117 patients with positive blood cultures were enrolled in the study. Results: Six patients had bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections yielding an incidence of 5.1%. The pathogens responsible for secondary bacteremia were: Klebsiella pneumonia in two patients, Enterococcus faecium in two patients, Klebsiella oxytoca in one patient, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in one patient. Conclusion: The incidence of bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections was not different from bacteremia associated with community-acquired urinary tract infections, and was approximately 5%.
