Optimal bacterial colony counts for the diagnosis of upper urinary tract infections in infants

Background There are no consensus criteria for diagnosing upper urinary tract infections (UTI). Therefore, we conducted a study to assess whether bacterial colony counts of ≥ 10 3 CFU/ml are optimal for diagnosing upper UTIs among infants. Methods This retrospective observational study included 673...
