Factors determining the likelihood of urinary tract infection in children include host susceptibility, such as the presence of obstructive uropathy, neuropathic bladder or dysfunctional voiding. Bacterial virulence, as in infection by fimbriated Escherichia coli, is also a factor. With a few exceptions, diagnostic evaluation should be performed following the first infection. Early aggressive therapy has the goal of preserving renal function.
决定儿童尿路感染可能性的因素包括宿主易感性，如存在梗阻性尿路病、神经源性膀胱或排尿功能障碍。细菌毒力，如由有菌毛的大肠杆菌感染引起的，也是一个因素。除了少数例外情况，首次感染后应进行诊断评估。早期积极治疗的目标是保护肾功能。
