    Author: Dulczak S, Kirk J.
    Journal: Urol Nurs; 2005 Jun; 25(3):185-91; quiz 192. PubMed ID: 16050349.
    Abstract:
    Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common serious bacterial infection in infants and children. UTI is an infection of the lower urinary tract, the upper urinary tract, or both. The diagnosis is dependent on the collection and analysis of an uncontaminated urine specimen. It is the combination of bacterial virulence, and host factors that are closely interrelated, which lead to the development of a UTI. Management of UTI in infants and children requires prompt diagnosis, treatment, and resolution of symptoms followed by appropriate radiologic evaluation. The ultimate goal is the preservation of kidney function.
