Urinary tract infection in adolescent boys.
Clinical and laboratory features of 21 adolescent males with urinary tract infections were studied. Sixty-seven percent were symptomatic and 80% revealed abnormalities on initial urinalysis. Forty-eight percent showed structural anomalies of the urinary tract. Recurrences were observed only in those having abnormalities of the urinary tract.
