Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are defined as the presence of significant numbers of pathogenic bacteria in appropriately collected urine and result in over seven million office visits with an estimated one million episodes annually of UTI-related illness requiring hospitalizations. Among children, 1 in 20 girls and 1 in 50 boys have a UTI each year [1].
