Urinary tract infection in a healthy 10-year-old boy: an occult etiology.
We report a 10-year-old previously healthy boy who presented to our emergency department with a history of gross hematuria. Urinalysis was consistent with a urinary tract infection, an uncommon disease in healthy young boys. Further questioning revealed a history of self-instrumentation.
