Urinary Tract Infections

Overview

Infections can occur anywhere in the system that removes wastes from your body (urinary tract) — the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Treatment with antibiotics typically resolves the problem. Some children have an abnormality in the anatomy of the kidney or bladder that makes them more prone to urinary tract infections (UTI).
