Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in infants and children. The early diagnosis of a pyelonephritis and its rapid antibacterial therapy are decisive for the prognosis.
Urogenital anomalies, renal damage and bladder dysfunction may influence the risk of recurrences of UTI and postpyelonephritic scarring. Diagnostic strategies therefore should focus on their early recognition.
