    Abstract:
    Etiological factors of urinary tract infection in children have been studied. The Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Enterococcus sp. and Enterobacter sp. were the most often isolated bacteria from infant and baby urine. In this age group of patients uromycoses were also affirmed. From the urine of older children (1-18 years old) mainly Escherichia coli, Enterococcus sp., Proteus sp. and Morganella morganii have been raised. Uropathogens' occurrence was analysed by a statistical method in the relation to age and sex of the children. The girls in the age of 1 to 18 years were more open than boys to urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli and less open to infections caused by Morganella morganii and Enterococcus sp.
