Urine,Bladder and Kidney Infections



     Infections of what is called the urinary tract – bladder and kidneys, can cause problems for children and parents because they can give subtle symptoms and young children cannot tell their parents what is wrong.
     These infections are common. They occur more often in females and uncircumcised males. They are a frequent source of prolonged, recurrent or undiagnosed fever as well as even more subtle symptoms such a prolonged diarrhea, recurrent vomiting and poor growth.
     As I have mentioned in earlier articles, the most common reason for fever in children is viral infections like colds. These infections have a typical fever pattern: three days of daytime fever and nighttime spikes followed by a couple of nights with nighttime fever only and then resolution of the fever. If a child has a daytime fever that lasts longer than three days or if the daytime fever keeps coming and going, the child needs to be examined by their caregiver. Part of that examination should include a urine examination. If the child is old enough to give a good, clean-catch sample, that is fine, but regrettably, the collection of urine in a bag isn’t reliable and shouldn’t be done. For a younger child, catheterization is the only way to obtain a urine sample. Sometimes, the diagnosis of this infection can be made immediately from looking at the urine, but the real proof of a urinary tract infection is a culture of the urine to see if bacteria grow from it. This can take a day or two.
     When a child is diagnosed as having a lower urinary tract infection involving only the bladder, oral antibiotics usually will cure it. If the child is more ill or the kidney is involved, the child may need hospitalization until the infection begins to resolve. In the past, if a young child was diagnosed as having a urinary tract infection, doctors recommended that, after the infection is resolved, the child have a test called a VCUG which involves putting dye in the bladder. Experts are now questioning whether this procedure is necessary in all cases and doctors have begun to stop recommending it routinely.
