Summary

Urinary tract infections in boys and men are common causes of significant morbidity and, when coupled with urinary tract abnormalities, loss of renal function. Careful and prompt urological assessment is mandatory for proper treatment and prevention of serious and/or chronic sequelae.

Zusammenfassung

Harnwegsinfektionen bei Knaben und Männern sind ein wichtiger Morbiditätsfaktor und können eine Einschränkung der Nierenfunktion verursachen, wenn sie bei Patienten mit Anomalien im Harntrakt auftreten. Eine umgehende und sorgfältige urologische Abklärung ist die Voraussetzung für die wirksame Therapie und zur Verhinderung ernsthafter und/oder chronischer Folgeerscheinungen.
