Urinary tract infections are common during infancy and childhood but are easily overlooked because of the unspecific symptoms. Prevention of renal scarring and its potential long-term consequences is possible but requires an increased awareness of the diagnosis, the imaging revealing anomalies within the urinary tract, and the long-term supervision. This should include any possibility of the child having pyelonephritic recurrences, which should be treated without delay; however, asymptomatic bacteriuria in infants and children is an innocent condition and screening is not recommended.
尿路感染在婴儿期和儿童期很常见，但由于症状不具特异性，很容易被忽视。预防肾瘢痕形成及其潜在的长期后果是可行的，但需要提高对诊断、揭示尿路异常的影像学检查以及长期监测的认识。这应包括儿童肾盂肾炎复发的任何可能性，应立即进行治疗；然而，婴幼儿无症状菌尿是一种良性情况，不建议进行筛查。
