Kruskal Wallis chi-square test compared the incidence of positive urine culture among the three groups revealed no significant difference (p=0.455). 64/174 children who were admitted for bronchiolitis, were tested for RSV: 36/64 were found positive. 17/36 were urine cultured and 2/17 (11%) had positive urine culture, while 0% had positive urine culture from non RSV bronchiolitis (p=0.634). UTI was not detected to have higher incidence among children with bronchiolitis. No correlation was found between positive urine culture and RSV bronchiolitis.
