Urinary tract infections can result in significant morbidity and represent one of the most common urological conditions that the pediatrician and family practitioner encounter in the pediatric patient population. The prevalence of UTI in girls may be as high as 8.1%. UTIs also represent the most commonly identified serious bacterial infection in infants presenting with a febrile illness. Of febrile infants aged 2-3 months, 3-10% have a documented UTI. While the majority of the UTIs are not associated with any significant underlying conditions, the mere presence of a UTI is worrisome to most parents. An appropriate evaluation will determine which of these patients need referral. A brief summary is therefore presented to assist the primary care physician in the evaluation and management of childhood UTIs.
尿路感染可导致严重发病，是儿科医生和家庭医生在儿科患者群体中遇到的最常见泌尿系统疾病之一。女童尿路感染的患病率可能高达8.1%。尿路感染也是发热性疾病婴儿中最常见的严重细菌感染。在2至3个月大的发热婴儿中，3%至10%有记录显示患有尿路感染。虽然大多数尿路感染与任何重大潜在疾病无关，但尿路感染的存在本身就令大多数家长担忧。适当的评估将确定哪些患者需要转诊。因此，现提供一份简要总结，以协助初级保健医生评估和管理儿童尿路感染。
