Urinary Tract Infection in Children
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
We selected the pediatric urinary tract infection related research and review articles in English language using keywords or phrases such as Infant; children; culture; Escherichia coli; fever, UTI. Aims: The purpose of this review is to provide summary of the latest research in particular to the practical aspects of management of UTI in children. Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an important medical entity commonly diagnosed during early childhood. Prevalence and incidence of UTI varies with age and gender. UTI can be missed just on history and clinical examination. Screening of UTI in high risk children is important and should be well balanced against cost and risk of missing UTI. Despite latest evidence from research there are still controversies in managing UTI in children. Conclusion: Despite major advances in management of UTI in neonates and children, uniform guidelines for the imaging and management of recurrent UTI are lacking, prompting a multinational large research project to fill in the knowledge gap.
