TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Urinary Tract Infection A1 - R. Su, Ruthie A1 - Wald, Ellen R. A2 - Kline, Mark W. PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Since the introduction of routine immunization against Haemophilus influenzae type b and Streptococcus pneumoniae, urinary tract infections (UTIs) have replaced bacteremia and meningitis as the most common serious bacterial infection in children. Identification and treatment of UTIs are important in managing signs and symptoms such as fever and dysuria, and also for preventing and minimizing the morbidity associated with pyelonephritis and sepsis. The site of infection may be the bladder (cystitis), ureters (ureteritis), pelvis (pyelitis), and/or renal parenchyma (pyelonephritis).
