Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in children. The aim of this study was therefor to construct a guide for the empirical antibiotic treatment of community-acquired UTI by investigating the etiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of uropathogens and analyzing the epidemiological and clinical patient characteristics.
Methods: A total of 158 children with positive urine culture were included in the study.
Purpose: To determine reference values of ultrasonographic measurements of the liver and spleen in newborns and to provide a reference chart to use easily in daily practice.
Methods: In this prospective study, spleen and liver dimensions were evaluated in 384 healthy newborns with a gestation age ≥37 weeks in an obstetrics clinic and neonatal intensive care unit with sonography within the first week of life. Relationships of all dimensions with sex, gestational age, height, and weight were statistically analyzed.
Background: Ultrasonographic measurement of kidney dimensions is important in evaluation of renal disease during the neonatal period, when renal abnormalities are common and renal size rapidly changes with age.
Objective: To determine the reference ranges of kidney dimensions in newborns and to provide a reference chart for daily practice.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, kidney dimensions were evaluated in 385 healthy newborns with a gestational age ≥37 weeks.
