Abstract
We studied 108 children diagnosed with urinary tract infection (UTI) to determine the frequency of hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Fifty-two children (48.1%) had hydronephrosis (pyeloureteral junction obstruction: 27.8%) and 43 children (39.8%) had VUR (primary VUR: 36.1%). A renal scar was seen in 25.8% of the VUR cases. We recognized again that children with a history of UTI need to be examined promptly and thoroughly.Entities:
