In recent years, added some new evidence relating to the issue of urinary tract infections (UTI). Critically, it is clear that so far only a part

of this new knowledge found its use in routine clinical practice. Many problems are solved by the UTI in a number of ongoing studies and

they can expect in the coming years will be to review some best practices. Constant attention is especially important to pediatricians

acute pyelonephritis (AP), which are often the lowest in children aged nonspecific clinical symptoms and can sometimes be diagnosed

late. Especially after repeated episodes of AP in the kidneys, then the scar tissue can cause chronic renal failure.
