Nonpharmacological measures in recurrent urinary tract infections in children and adolescents
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are a common reason for visiting a paediatrician as well as for being hospitalized. Children with recurrent UTIs are at a higher risk of kidney injury, particularly when concurrent with vesicoureteral reflux. Prevention involves a set of measures intended to reduce the recurrence rate and thus the risk of renal insufficiency. Given the increasing pharmacological resistance of bacteria, nonpharmacological measures are becoming increasingly important.
Keywords: urinary tract infections, nonpharmacological prophylaxis, lifestyle measures, hygiene measures.
