A study on 148 patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) in Hai Phong Children Hospital from January 2002 to 2004 got a result as follows: the infection rate was 45.3% in boys, and was 54.7% in girls; urologic malformation accounted for 6.1% and phimosis accounted for 9.5%. Positive urinary culture was 57.4% in which the most popular bacteria were E.coli (33.1%), Proteus (10.1%) and Enterobacter (6.1%). E.coli was sensitive to cefotaxim, nalidixic acid, gentamicin, amikacin and Augmentin but resistant to: cephalexin, ampicillin, choloramphenicol and co-trimoxazol. Preteus was sensitive to: Augmentin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, amikacin, cefotaxim, nalidixic acid and resistant to: ampicillin, chloramphenicol and co-trimoxazol. Enterobacter was sensitive to: cefotaxim, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxon and resistant to: gentamicin, ampicilin and chloramphenicol. General treatment results: recovered 54%, reduced 35.8%, and non-responded 10.2%. The average treatment duration for 3 groups was 8.685.03 days

Background: Research of pH and specific gravity of urine in healhty children is nessecary in order to evaluate urine in children with neurology. Objectives:This study aims to estimate pH and specific gravity in healthy children aged from 2 months to 6 years old. Subjects and method: 3724 healthy children ( boy: 52,6% and girl: 47.4%) aged from 2 months to 6 years old located in 3 districts: Kien Thuy, Thuy Nguyen, Kien An of Hai Phong were enrolled in the descriptive and cross-sectional study using urianalysis of midstream urine samples in the morning by analyzer Model 101-Teco from USA. The data was collected and analysed bysocial statistic SPSS software. Results: - pH mean in boys was 5.38\xb10.62, in girls: 5.40\xb10.61, and both sexes: 5.39\xb10.62. In general, urine pH decreased according to age groups but there were no sex differences significantly. - Specific gravity mean of healthy boys was 1.018\xb10.007, of girls: 1.018\xb10.006 and both sexes: 1.018\xb10.007. Conclusion: In general, specific gravity increased according to age groups but no sex differences may significantly be found.
