Introduction: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in the pediatric age group are mostly nosocomial infections. This study aimed to investigate the clinical pattern of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase positive urinary tract infection and its seasonal distribution. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of pediatric patients with extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-positive UTI, who were followed-up in our clinic between lune 2015 and lune 2020. Results: One hundred-and-ten patients with ESBL-positive UTI and 231 with non-ESBL UTI were enrolled in this study. The rate of male sex in the ESBL group was significantly lower than that in the non-ESBL group (10.9% vs 27.2%, p= 0.001). The patients with ESBL were older than those in the non-ESBL group (81.3 +/- 49.0 months vs 56.0 +/- 47.2 months, p= 0.001). E. coli was the most iso- lated bacteria in both groups (68% and 70.5%, respectively). The rate of Klebsiella isolation in urine culture was significantly greater in the ESBL group than in the non-ESBL group (p= 0.04). The seasonal distribution of ESBL-positive patients was as follows: spring (18/16.4%), summer (25/22.7%), autumn (25/22.7%), and winter (42/38.2%). Conclusion: There is a substantially high rate of antibiotic resistance among patients with urinary tract infection in developing countries like Turkey. Moreover, we should be aware of the risk of ESBL-positive UTIs, especially in winter.
