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).
