Urinary Tract Infection in Children : A Narrative Review

Copyright © 2024, Agrawal et al..

This study investigates the susceptibility of different age groups and genders to urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pediatric populations, focusing on anatomical and behavioural factors. A systematic review of clinical data explores manifestations, accurate diagnosis methods, and antibiotic treatment regimens. Escherichia coli is a prevalent uropathogen, and the study addresses concerns about antibiotic resistance. The research aims to close knowledge gaps, influence guidelines, and enhance public health initiatives. Factors influencing UTI prevalence, such as age, gender, and structural abnormalities, are discussed. The review follows a robust search methodology, presenting a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram. The included studies cover a wide range of topics related to pediatric UTIs, including aetiology, treatment, prevention, and diagnostic approaches. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing pediatric UTIs for effective management and prevention.
