Practice Essentials
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common pediatric infections. It distresses the child, concerns the parents, and may cause permanent kidney damage. Occurrences of a first-time symptomatic UTI are highest in boys and girls during the first year of life and markedly decrease after that.
Febrile infants younger than 2 months constitute an important subset of children who may present with fever without a localizing source.
