title: [Ultrasound diagnosis of rare variants of acute urinary tract infection in children].
abstract: The diagnosis of acute urinary tract infection and acute pyelonephritis in children is based on a set of clinical and laboratory manifestations. This paper analyzes the role of renal ultrasound study in patients with the first episode of pyelonephritis. A total of more than 1,000 children admitted to hospital with urinary tract infection were echographically examined. The most common echographic findings were pelvic wall thickening and renal enlargement. The paper also describes the rare variants of pyelonephritis: renal infiltrates and abscesses, pyelonephritis in the presence of obstructive uropathies, pyelonephritis as a cause of acute renal failure.
