Abstract

We searched the children between 1 month and 16 years of age who presented to our hospital’s pediatric outpatient clinics because of urinary tract infection. Results of various imaging methods showed 37.5% of urinary tract anomalies. Among these anomalies, vesicoureteral reflux was the most frequent. As a result, probability of underlying urinary tract anomaly is quite high in the childhood urinary tract infection, and to determine these patology, a single radiological method might not be sufficient.
