Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common and recurrent disease in children and frequently unrecognized because the symptoms may be over—looked in the early years. The risk of failing ill in childhood with symptomatic tiTI is at least 3% for girls, and 1% for boys. About half of patients with symptomatic infections develops one or several recurrent infections. 5-7% of patients with symptomatic tifl during first year of life may acquire renal scars, renal diseases, hypertention or even end—stage renal disease. These severe complications may be prevented by adequate care. This involves diagnosis and microbiologic, radio- logic examinations and several follow up sets. The aim of treatment is to prevent the recurrence and the complications by clearing up the primary infection. Surgical interference may be needed for congenital or acquired anatomic defects. If infection recure long term medical therapy may be used to reduce the number of clinical or bacteriologic exacerbations.
