Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in kids. They happen when bacteria (germs) get into the bladder or kidneys. A baby with a UTI may have a fever, throw up, or be fussy. Older kids may have a fever, have pain when peeing, need to pee a lot, or have lower belly pain. Kids with UTIs need to see a doctor. These infections won't get better on their own. UTIs are easy to treat and usually clear up in a week or so.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common cause of pyuria. Below 50 years of age, UTI is mostly common in females as compared to males. This is because the urethra of females is shorter than the urethra of males, thus, bacteria can progress into the upper urinary system easily.
