RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk of bacterial meningitis in infants aged 29-90 days with evidence of urinary tract infection (UTI). METHODS: PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies reporting rates of meningitis in infants aged 29-90 days with abnormal urinalysis or urine culture. Observational studies in infants with evidence of UTI who underwent lumbar puncture (LP) reporting age-specific event rates of bacterial meningitis and sterile cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis were included. Prevalence estimates for bacterial meningitis in infants with UTI were pooled in a random effects meta-analysis. RESULTS: Three prospective and 17 retrospective cohort studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of concomitant bacterial meningitis in infants with UTI was 0.25% (95% CI, 0.09%-0.70%). Rates of sterile pleocytosis ranged from 0% to 29%. Variation in study methods precluded calculation of a pooled estimate for sterile pleocytosis. In most studies, the decision to perform a LP was up to the provider, introducing selection bias into the prevalence estimate. CONCLUSIONS: The risk of bacterial meningitis in infants aged 29-90 days with evidence of UTI is low. A selective approach to LP in infants identified as low risk for meningitis by other clinical criteria may be indicated.
