Acute and recurrent urinary tract infections in children.
Urinary tract infection is a common problem in children. Significant renal damage can result from the first episode of urinary tract infection. Early diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation can significantly reduce the potential for renal injury. All children with a potential urinary tract infection should have a reliable urine specimen sent for culture, and if infection is documented, a radiographic evaluation of their urinary system is required.
