Abstract

Diagnosis, treatment and management of urinary tract infections in the pediatric population remain controversial. Pediatric UTIs are common and constitute a significant health burden; it is estimated that 7% of girls and 2% of boys under age 6 will be diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. In addition to appropriate treatment, the goal of managing UTIs in children should be to identify and modify factors that may affect renal parenchyma and function.
