ABSTRACT
Nine hundred and sixty primary school children from Dakahlia governorate were screened for asymptomatic bacteriuria [ABU]. The prevalence of ABU was found to be 4.1%. ABU was more predominant [P 0.001] in children from rural areas [5.9%] than in those coming from urban areas [1.5%]. Females had significantly [P<0.0001] higher ABU prevalence [6.5%] than males [1.6%]. There was no difference in the prevalence of bacteriuria between younger children and older ones. From the total bacterial isolates E-Coli were the most common bacteria 2.6%, followed by Enterobius faocalls 1.8%, Klebsiolla pneumonia 0.4%, then coagulase negative staphylococci 0.3%. In conclusion, ABU is not a common finding in primary school children in our locality. It is more common in girls and in those coming from rural areas. E-CoIi is the most common isolated bacteria
