Abstract

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial infections in children. It may cause severe complications in both acute and chronic periods. Escherichia coli is the most common microorganism that causes urinary tract infections in children. Recurrent urinary tract infection is a significant risk factor for kidney scarring. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of urinary tract infection, as well as determination of risk factors and prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections, should be the most critical goals in managing children with urinary tract infections.
