[Urinary tract infection in childhood (author's transl)]. 1978

H Lassnig, and J Frick

The urinary tract infection ranks fourth among children's disorders, coming after contagious diseases and infection of the respiratory and digestive organs. Half of the children who have urinary tract infections are in early infancy, and the remaining 50 per cent are divided almost uniformly among those between the ages of 2 and 14. In keeping with the underlying causes, our material can be broken down as follows: in a fourth of the cases the disorder was such as to require an operation; 8 per cent of the children showed a neurologically disturbed micturition; about 40 per cent had a genuine distal urethral stenosis, and another 25 per cent showed changes in the urethral orifice and in the external genitals.
