Of severely malnourished Indian children 1 to 5 years old, 62 with grade III and 26 with grade IV protein-energy malnutrition, 7 had evidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) by urine culture. Other disorders diagnosed were respiratory infection in 28, diarrhoea in 24, anaemia in 22 and tuberculous meningitis in 11 children. It is concluded that UTI is an important occult infection in malnourished children.
