Background. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are prone to urinary tract infection (UTI).Methods/Objectives.The prevalence and the predictors of UTI among children with CP were compared to age- and sex-matched children without CP at Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi, Nigeria, from December 2011 to May 2013.Results. The age range was between 2 and 15 years with a mean age of years including 30 males and 22 females. UTI was confirmed in 20 (38.5%) CP children compared to 2 children (3.8%) without CP ( value 0.000). Among CP children,Escherichia coliwas the commonest organism isolated in 9 (9/20, 45.0%),Streptococcus faecalisin 4 (20.0%), andStaphylococcus aureusin 3 (15%), while bothProteus spp.andKlebsiella spp.were isolated in 2 children (10.0%) each.Escherichia coliwas also found in the 2 children without CP. All the organisms were resistant to cotrimoxazole, nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin, and amoxiclav, while they were 100% sensitive to ceftriaxone and the quinolones. In a univariate regression analysis, only moderate to severe gross motor dysfunction predicted the risk of UTI (, 95% CI, 2.27–1324.00, value 0.014).Conclusion. Efforts should be put in place to aid mobility among CP children in order to reduce the risk of UTI.

Background: Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. Among the comorbidities associated with this condition are lower urinary tract symptoms and urinary tract infections. Objective: The present review is aimed to the general pediatrician to adequate fulfill his/her needs regarding a proper understanding of the urinary tract functioning of children with cerebral palsy and which urodynamical findings are expected. Conclusion: lower urinary tract dysfunction is associated with cerebral palsy and should be promptly recognized. Non-invasive methods, such as ultrasonography and uroflowmetry do not correlate with clinical complaints in these patients. Children with detrusor-sphincter dyssinergia are more prone to upper urinary tract deterioration in adulthood when not recognized and properly treated. The main objective of adequate treatment of these patients is to reduce morbidity and to improve quality of life of them as well as their families.
