Resumo: The importance of urinary tract infections in children is due to their high prevalence, as well as being markers for urinary tract functional and structural anomalies, congenital or acquired. They may also cause hypertension and chronic renal failure. The investigation of children with urinary tract infection implies several medical consultations, the use of multiple antibiotics, somewhat invasive investigations and high costs. Thus the diagnosis must be adequately made, through the culture of a properly taken urine sample, as a means to avoid false positive diagnoses and unnecessary investigations and treatments. The correct diagnosis and early treatment reduce the risk of permanent renal lesion and its consequences.

A investigação da criança com infecção urinária implica visitas médicas repetidas, o consumo de múltiplos antibióticos, exploraçõescomplementares relativamente invasivas e um custo económico elevado. Daí a importância de que o diagnóstico de infecção urinária na criança seja correctamente efectuado, sendo para tal sempre necessária a realização da cultura de uma amostra de urina correctamente obtida, a fim de evitar os falsos diagnósticos, os tratamentos e investigações desnecessários. O diagnóstico correcto e o tratamento precoce e adequado da infecção urinária na criança vão diminuir de modo significativo o risco de lesão renal permanente e suas sequelas.Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar2004-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v20i6.10092https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v20i6.10092Portuguese Journal of Family Medicine and General Practice; Vol. 20 No. 6 (2004): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 669-72Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 20 Núm. 6 (2004): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 669-72Revista Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar; Vol. 20 N.º 6 (2004): Revista Portuguesa de Clínica Geral; 669-722182-51812182-517310.32385/rpmgf.v20i6reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10092https://rpmgf.pt/ojs/index.php/rpmgf/article/view/10092/9829Fernandes, Eduardoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-09-17T11:58:30Zoai:ojs.rpmgf.pt:article/10092Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-09-17T11:58:30Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
