Abstract
Pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, but not all UTIs are the same. Some children have a single UTI, whereas others suffer recurrent infections. Some UTIs are associated with fever, and others cause only lower urinary tract symptoms. Some UTIs lead to renal scarring, whereas others involve no long-term sequelae. Unfortunately, there is no way to definitively predict which children will develop a UTI, determine if they will suffer further UTIs, or determine if they will be affected by long-term issues related to their infections. This chapter describes the pathogenesis, evaluation, and management of pediatric UTIs.
