Conclusion

Management of UTI in children—the most challenging task because of the reasons explained earlier can be thus made easy by; (a) proper diagnosis which includes high index of suspicion and finding out asymptomatic cases through mass screening especially of young infants; and (b) treating these cases with appropriate antibiotics therapy as short course therapy for simple infection, chronic suppressive therapy for recurrent infections and intensive therapy for acute upper urinary tract infection. Follow up of such children in a special clinic set up in large equipped hospital will minimise the risk of future renal complications.
