Clinical review demonstrates distinct diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for urinary tract infections in children, highlighting the necessity of investigating underlying anatomic abnormalities.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in childhood are neither rare nor insignificant. They can be harbingers of potential underlying anatomic abnormalities. As a result, children in whom UTIs develop routinely undergo an anatomic evaluation when adults may not. The management of UTIs in children also differs from management in adults. This article describes a rational approach to the evaluation and management of childhood UTIs with relation to the natural history and risk factors.
