Urinary Tract Infections:
Presentation
(Pediatric Infectious Disease)
In adults, the diagnosis of urinary tract infection is often associated with
signs such as increased frequency or dysuria; these symptoms may be lacking in
young children. A urinary tract infection needs to be considered in any young
child presenting with fever. Studies have shown that the rate of urinary tract
infection in infants with unexplained fever is between 5% and 10%. An
uncircumcised male with an unexplained fever of greater than 39
°C (102.2°F) has been reported as having a 35% chance of having a urinary tract infection.

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Urinary tract infections:
Urinary Tract Infections: DBMD (Excerpt)
Ranges from painful urination in
uncomplicated urethritis or cystitis to severe systemic illness
associated with abdominal or back pain, fever, sepsis and
decreased kidney function in some cases of pyelonephritis. (Source: excerpt from Urinary Tract Infections: DBMD)
Urinary Tract Infections in Adults: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Not everyone with a UTI has symptoms, but most
people get at least some. These may include a frequent urge to urinate and
a painful, burning feeling in the area of the bladder or urethra during
urination. It is not unusual to feel bad all over—tired, shaky, washed
out—and to feel pain even when not urinating. Often, women feel an
uncomfortable pressure above the pubic bone, and some men experience a
fullness in the rectum. It is common for a person with a urinary infection
to complain that, despite the urge to urinate, only a small amount of
urine is passed. The urine itself may look milky or cloudy, even reddish
if blood is present. A fever may mean that the infection has reached the
kidneys. Other symptoms of a kidney infection include pain in the back or
side below the ribs, nausea, or vomiting.
In children, symptoms of a urinary infection may be overlooked or
attributed to another disorder. A UTI should be considered when a child or
infant seems irritable, is not eating normally, has an unexplained fever
that does not go away, has incontinence or loose bowels, or is not
thriving. The child should be seen by a doctor if there are any questions
about these symptoms, especially if there is a change in the child's
urinary pattern. (Source: excerpt from Urinary Tract Infections in Adults: NIDDK)
Urinary Tract Infections in Children: NIDDK (Excerpt)
The lining of the bladder, urethra, ureters, and
kidneys become irritated with a urinary tract infection, just like the
inside of the nose or throat with a cold. If your child is an infant or is
only a few years old, the signs of a urinary tract infection may not be
clear, since children that young cannot tell you just how they feel. Your
child may have a high fever, be irritable, or not eat.
On the other hand, sometimes a child may have only a low-grade fever,
experience nausea and vomiting, or just not seem healthy. The diaper urine
may have an unusual smell. If your child has a high temperature and
appears sick for more than a day without signs of a runny nose or other
obvious cause for discomfort, he or she may need to be checked for a
bladder infection.
An older child with bladder irritation may complain of pain in the
abdomen and pelvic area. Your child may urinate often. If the kidney is
infected, your child may complain of pain under the side of the rib cage
(the flank) or low back pain. Crying or complaining that it hurts to
urinate and producing only a few drops of urine at a time are other signs
of urinary tract infection. Your child may have difficulty controlling the
urine and may leak urine into clothing or bedsheets. The urine may smell
unusual or look cloudy.
