Abstract
Background: One of the most common reasons that patients under the age of five visit the outpatient department is fever. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) as the cause of fever are rarely discussed in contrast to other disorders that are given more attention. Children are often given antibiotics empirically without receiving an appropriate examination for UTIs. It is essential to diagnose a UTI in children who have fever in order to minimise lifelong morbidity and provide prompt treatment.
