Abstract
Urinary tract infection is one of the most common problems in children. Despite the common occurrence of UTI, the diagnostic workup and management remains a constant challenge. UTI is well recognized as a cause of acute morbidity and chronic medical condition such as hypertension and renal insufficiency in adulthood Around 13-15% of end stage renal diseases are due to unrecognised UTI in children. The congenital renal anomalies like VUR, PUJ can have devastating effects on the kidney. Therefore even a single documented UTI in children must be thoroughly investigated and managed appropriately. This will prevent children from developing chronic renal insufficiency.
