The current study aimed to isolate Escherichia coli bacteria that cause urinary tract infections in children less than five years old and evaluate some risk factors. 100 samples were isolated from children suffering from urinary tract infections of both genders from various hospitals in the city of Samarra, for the period between 9/1/2022 and 4/15. /2023. The results of microscopic examination showed that 55% of the samples were accompanied by bacteriuria and pyuria, 12% with bacteriuria, 22% with pyuria, and 11% without both.
Bacterial culture results showed that 67% of the samples showed bacterial growth, and 64.1% of the specimen were diagnosed as Escherichia coli and the rest of the percentage was distributed among other bacterial species. The results showed that all male samples that showed bacterial growth were from uncircumcised children. The isolates showed resistance to many antibiotics. and the blood test for males and females showed a decrease in the level of ferritin and a decrease in some blood parameters compared with the normal levels, especially hemoglobin.
