Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection causing illness in infants and children and recurrent UTI is known as one of the major factors for renal scarring. It may be difficult to recognize UTI in children because the presenting symptoms and signs are non-specific, particularly in infants and children younger than 3 years. It can be associated with long-term sequelae of renal scarring, which may cause hypertension, proteinuria, pregnancy-related complications, or even progressive renal failure1. The risk of recurrent UTI in children has been estimated to be 12-30 % in the first 6-12 months after the initial UTI2. Predisposing factors for recurrence include vesico-ureteral reflux and dysfunctional voiding problems3. In infants with normal urinary system, age less than 6 months, non-retractile prepuce and Acute Pyelonephritis (APN) in male infants are the most important risk factor for recurrent UTI4. Escherechia coli remains the most common organism causing UTI in children (60-92%). Other commo
