Urinary Tract Infections in Girls: Age at Onset and Urinary Tract Abnormalities

Urinary tract infection in children is a common problem confronting pediatricians, family practitioners, and urologists. The prevalence of this problem for the general population under the age of 14 years has been found by Kunin1 to be 0.4% for boys and 1.2% for girls. The question of which patients require a complete radiologic evaluation (intravenous pyelogram [IVP] and voiding cystourethrogram [VCUG]) has been classically embalmed in controversy and confusion. Some authors have advocated investigating all children with a bacteriologically proven infection,2 while most others have recommended investigations after the first infection in boys and after the second infection in girls.3-5
