| Abstract | ||
| One hundred and fifty - three patients with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI): 97(63.3%)’. males and 56 (36.6%) females, were studied prospectively at the Urology department and outpatient clinic, Specialized surgical hospital, from February 2000 until February 2003. Their age ranged from (1-40) years. Evaluation of these patients was done by: proper history, physical examination, laboratory tests and radiological imaging studies (ultrasound (U/S), and/or intravenous urography (IVU) and/or voiding cystourethrography (VCU)). Congenital urinary tract anomalies were detected in 30 (19.6%) of these patients: 18(60%) males and 12 (40 %) females. The upper urinary tract anomalies (kidney and ureter) were predominating found in 26 (86.6%) patients, while lower urinary tract malformations (bladder and urethra) were found in only 4(3.3%) cases. The most common organism isolated was Proteus species in 15 (50%) of the patients with congenital anomalies. | ||
