Understanding the significance of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children is crucial, as approximately 5-10% of children aged 2 months to 2 years with fever will have a UTI. It is more common in girls than boys, and about one-third of those with their first UTI may experience recurring infections. Additionally, roughly 30% of children with UTIs have Vesicoureteral reflux. The concern lies in the risk of renal scarring, which affects 10-20% to 30% of these cases and may lead to the development of hypertension. Early detection and prevention are vital to safeguard children's health.
