Abstract

To the Editor.— The recent article by Crain et al1 on urinary tract infections (UTIs) in febrile infants younger than 8 weeks of age covers many important features of urinary tract infections in young infants. It confirms data suggesting that uncircumcised males have an increased incidence of positive urine cultures. It confirms that infants may have positive urine cultures in the absence of a positive urinalysis. The study also demonstrates, again, that some infants with positive urine cultures can have positive blood cultures.
