Abstract

The urines from 43 asymptomatic children with spina bifida were examined. Eighty-one percent were abnormal because of bacteriuria and pyuria (51%), bacteriuria alone (26%) or pyuria alone (5%). Interleukin-8 was elevated in 54% of the abnormal urines. The presence of pyuria and interleukin 8 suggests that the asymptomatic bacteriuria reflects low grade infection rather than colonization.
