title: Pediatric urologic conditions, including urinary infections.
abstract: Genitourinary complaints are common in children, and the busy primary care provider must determine initial treatment and assess need for specialty referral. Many complaints are self-limited, but some represent disorders that can threaten organ function. In this article, an initial approach in the primary care office and a guide to specialty referral for pediatric urologic conditions of the urinary tract, male genitalia, and female genitalia are suggested.
