Objective: In this study our main objective is to assess the sociodemographic status of frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) and infrequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (IFRNS) in children. Methodology: This Cross-sectional comparative study conducted at the Department of Paediatric Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and Department of Paediatrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from February 1, 2010 to October 1, 2010. During the study, 60 children were included in the study according to judgmental or purposive sampling method and they were grouped as follows: Group A (n = 30): Frequent Relapse Nephrotic Syndrome (FRNS), Group B (n= 30): Infrequent Relapse Nephrotic Syndrome (IFRNS). Results: During the study, 46.67%) children's urine cultures were positive for bacteria and (53.33%1) children's urine cultures were negative for bacteria in group A. But in group B, 6 (20%) children's urine cultures were positive for bacteria and 24 (80%) children's urine cultures were negative for bacteria. During the study, among the (46.70%) urine culture positive cases in group A, majority (33.33%) children had E. coli followed by (6.67%) children had Enterobacter, (3.33%) children had Acenetobactor and remaining (3.33%) had Klebsiella in group A as the bacteria of urinary tract infection (UTI). Whereas, in group-B it was 20%. Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that, proper identification and adequate consciousness is needed for management of frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (FRNS) and infrequent relapse nephrotic syndrome (IFRNS) in children.
