TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Urinary System Infection A1 - Wells, Robert G. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children AB - Infection is the most common abnormality of the urinary system in children. The urinary tract is the second most common site of bacterial infections in children, after the respiratory tract. Although most urinary tract infections are relatively minor and respond promptly to appropriate treatment, chronic or recurrent infections can lead to severe, even life-threatening, complications such as hypertension and end-stage renal disease. Of urinary tract infections, those of the kidneys carry the greatest risk of clinically significant sequelae.
