Evaluation and Management of Urinary Tract Infections in Children

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTI) represent a major infectious etiology of morbidity in children. Over the past two decades, the approach to evaluation and management of factors associated with the pathogenesis of UTI have evolved, at times leading to the publication of new guidelines. With increasing evidence, individualized approaches to the child with febrile and non-febrile UTI need to relate to age, sex, potty trained (or not), and social factors.
