Abstract

Urinary tract infection is inextricably interwoven into the fabric of paediatric urology, for it commonly causes the symptoms that first draw attention to the child’s illness and to a large extent determines the ultimate prognosis. There have been several symposia in recent years which should be consulted for detailed discussion of the material presented in this chapter (Kass, 1965; O’Grady and Brumfitt, 1968; Stuart, 1969; Kincaid-Smith and Fairley, 1970).
