Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common pathology among children, especially infants. [1] Clinical manifestations of UTI are varied and depend on the severity of the inflammatory process, age, sex and the nature of comorbidities. UTI is a collective term that unites all infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urinary system. Only a comprehensive nephrological examination and determination of the level of damage to the urinary system allow to make a more accurate diagnosis (pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis, abacterial leukocyturia).
