Urinary tract infection is frequent in childhood, usually without major consequences. Its diagnosis is often overestimated and needs precise bacteriological and cytological tests; systematic exploration of the urinary tract must be proposed if these tests are positive. The clinical presentation and the incidence of uropathies is strongly related to age. The therapeutic protocol will depend on germ, age, symptoms and results of morphological examinations.
