[Diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections in childhood]
Abstract
The children at greatest risk for kidney damage are infants and young children with febrile urinary tract infection in whom effective treatment is delayed, those with gross vesico-urethral reflux, and those with anatomic or neurogenic urinary tract obstruction. Evaluation and management of pediatric patients with urinary tract infections are summarized.
