Urinary Tract Infection In Children Pptx Urinary tract infections in children are a marker of possible urinary tract congenital anomalies or other abnormalities (eg, obstruction, neurogenic bladder, ureteral duplication); these abnormalities are particularly likely to result in recurrent infection if vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is present. about 20 to 30% of infants and children age. A state of the art review of current literature on uti in children, with a particular focus on its diagnosis and management by general pediatricians.urinary tract infection (uti) is common in children, and girls are at a significantly higher risk, as compared to boys, except in early infancy. most cases are caused by escherichia coli. collection of an uncontaminated urine specimen is essential. When bacteria enter the bladder or kidneys, an infection can develop. these infections are called urinary tract infections (utis). kidney infections are the most serious type of uti because, if not treated quickly, the infection can permanently damage the kidneys. rarely, damage to the kidney can lead to high blood pressure and kidney failure. Urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common pediatric infections. it distresses the child, concerns the parents, and may cause permanent kidney damage. occurrences of a first time symptomatic uti are highest in boys and girls during the first year of life and markedly decrease after that. febrile infants younger than 2 months.

By the age of 16 years, 11.3% of girls and 3.6% of boys will have had a uti [1, 13, 14]. hispanic and white children have a two to four fold higher prevalence of uti than do black children [3, 15 17]. generally, recurrence rates are 30 to 50% [2, 13]. recurrence of uti is especially common in girls [18]. A urinary tract infection is inflammation of part of the system that takes urine out of the body. it’s caused by bacteria. the urinary tract includes the 2 kidneys. they remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine. narrow tubes (ureters) carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. urine is stored in the bladder.
