The urinary tract is a common source of infection in children, but the implications of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children and infants are different than adults. These differences are reflected in the epidemiology, bacteriology, pathogenesis of UTI. Most UTIs in children result from ascending infections, although in the first 12 weeks of life hematogenous spread may be more common. Children with UTI may have dysuria, frequency, urgency, hesitancy, small-volume voids, or lower abdominal pain.
Infants with UTI more commonly present with non-specific symptoms such as fever, irritability, jaundice, vomiting, or failure to thrive. To throw more light on this topic “Urinary Tract Infection In Children” , Abbott and Docplexus have organized an exclusive webinar on 20th December 2020 at 5 pm . Stay tuned!!
