UTI can occur in 5% of girls and boys 1-2% laki.2 Genesis UTI in newborns of low birth weight to reach 10-100 times higher compared to infants of normal birth weight (0.1 to 1%) . Before the age of one year, UTI occurs more frequently in boys. While thereafter, most UTIs occur in girls. For example, in pre-school age children where UTI in women reached 0.8%, while in men only 0.2%. And this ratio continues to increase so that at school age, the incidence of UTI in girls 30 times higher than in boys. And the boys who were circumcised, the risk of UTI decreased to 1/5-1/20 of a boy who did not disunat.1

* Proteus mirabilis. In addition to causing infection, the bacteria release substances that can facilitate the formation of stones in the urinary tract.
* Other microorganisms that cause UTI are some bacteria that commonly infect the digestive tract and Candida albicans, a fungus that commonly infects patients with catheters (catheters: a kind of hose) on the bladder channel, low immunity, diabetes mellitus, or patients in the antibiotic therapy.
