Staphylococcus saprophyticus urinary-tract infection in male children.

Abstract

Staphylococcus saprophyticus urinary-tract infection has been reported to occur in sexually active young females and in geriatric patients with obstructive uropathy. We are discussing two young male children with S. saprophyticus urinary-tract infection. We draw attention to this bacterium which is emerging as an important pathogen in children with urinary-tract infections.
