title: [Urinary tract infections in infants and children -- a consensus on diagnostic, therapy and prophylaxis].
abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in infants and children. The early diagnosis of a pyelonephritis and its rapid, calculated antibacterial therapy are decisive for the prognosis. Urogenital anomalies, renal damage and bladder dysfunction may influence the risk of recurrences of UTI and pyelonephritic scarring. Diagnostic strategies therefore should focus on their early recognition. Pediatricians, urologists and infectiologists are cooperating in diagnostic, therapy and prophylaxis of UTI. The aim of the interdisciplinary consensus presented was to work out a concept which may help to manage childhood UTI in daily practice.
