Urinary tract infection was in 15 per cent of 804 children presenting in general practice with symptoms suggestive of infection. Only 18 per cent of children with specific urinary symptoms and eight per cent of those with non specific symptoms were infected. All children with a proven urinary infection were investigated radiologically, and one third of these had an abnormality on a micturition cystourethrogram or intravenous pyelogram. Urine culture is the only way of detecting urinary infection, and radiological investigation is essential in all cases of proven infection.
在804名因疑似感染症状前来全科医疗就诊的儿童中，15%患有尿路感染。有特定尿路症状的儿童中只有18%受到感染，有非特定症状的儿童中这一比例为8%。所有经证实患有尿路感染的儿童都接受了放射学检查，其中三分之一在排尿性膀胱尿道造影或静脉肾盂造影中显示有异常。尿培养是检测尿路感染的唯一方法，对于所有经证实的感染病例，放射学检查必不可少。
