<i><scp>E</scp>scherichia coli</i> virulence patterns may help to predict vesicoureteral reflux in paediatric urinary tract infections

This paper describes urinary tract infections (UTI) from the perspective of a disturbed balance between bacterial virulence and host defence. In some children, a UTI is caused by a virulent Escherichia coli, while in other cases children with abnormal renal tracts can get infected by almost any bacteria. Such knowledge can help in guiding treatment, investigations and follow-up of a child with a UTI.

Escherichia coli virulence patterns may help to predict vesicoureteral reflux in paediatric urinary tract infections

Abstract: Bacterial virulence factors and clinical factors helped to predict high-grade reflux and may help to avoid unnecessary voiding cystographies.
