Case studies from the British National Formulary for Children — urinary tract infections
A four-year-old girl presents with a 24-hour history of urinary frequency and dysuria. Examination is unremarkable apart from mild suprapubic tenderness. She has idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, but there is no other medical history of note. A urine sample is positive for leucocyte esterase and nitrite on dipstick testing.
