All children aged between 6 months to 18 years presenting with a historyof recurrent urinary tract were included in the study. A detailed history, relevant clinicalexamination, and the ultrasonography of kidney ureters and bladder (USG KUB) followedby voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), were carried out and subsequently analyzed.Results: A total of 38 patients with recurrent UTI were evaluated during one year. Thecommonest age group was 6 months to 2 years (68%), with female preponderance (F: M3.2:1). Urine culture grew E. coli in 95% of patients, while USG abnormalities and thepresence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) on voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) were seenin 14 patients (36%).Conclusion: Recurrent UTI are common between 6 months to 2 years, and E coli is the mostcommon cause.
