A Comparison of Bladder Catheterization and Suprapubic Aspiration Methods for Urine Sample Collection From Infants With a Suspected Urinary Tract Infection

Abstract: This study compares 2 sampling methods for urine cultures in young infants. We analyzed data on urine samples obtained from 83 infants using 2 sources of urine: suprapubic bladder aspiration (SPA) and bladder catheterization. All specimens were subjected to both urinalysis and culture, and the results compared. Eighty-three infants with positive urine culture results obtained by bladder catheterization were subjected to SPA. Of these, only 24 (28.9%) and 20 (24%) yielded positive urine culture and abnormal uri… Show more

“…This was the first such study in Hungary and the longest-spanning study of its kind overall. The main indications for the suprapubic aspiration method included urinary retention (e.g., due to hyperplasia or tumours of the prostate, gynaecological malignancies, or spinal cord injuries) and constriction, phimosis, and chronic (therapyresistant) infections or congenital abnormalities of the urinary system in young children and older adults [10]. In addition, this sampling method may be used in the diagnosis of lower UTIs, where obtaining a sample voluntarily or through catheterization is not possible [2,10].…”

In addition, this sampling method may be used in the diagnosis of lower UTIs, where obtaining a sample voluntarily or through catheterization is not possible [2,10]. With the appropriate equipment (disinfectant, local anaesthetic, 22-gauge spinal needle, syringe, and sterile collection container) and clinical experience, obtaining the sample is a relatively simple procedure and provides clinically relevant information [11].…”

“…There are ample data to refute their position, including specimens obtained by catheterization. [2][3][4] Fortunately, the combination of bacteriuria without inflammation (positive culture-negative urinalysis) occurs in only about 0.5% of febrile infants. Accordingly, the rate of missed bacteriuria is low when screened by urinalysis; moreover, the significance of bacteriuria without inflammation is not clear because inflammation appears to be required to cause renal scars.…”
