ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to determine the association of recurrent urinary tract infections with functional voiding disorders. Sixty eight children with suspected functional voiding disorders were prospectively evaluated clinically and by non-invasive urodynamics. Invasive urodynamics were carried out when indicated. Group I comprised 34 children with symptoms suggestive of functional voiding disorders and recurrent urinary tract infections (mean age 6.3+/-2 yr) and Group II comprised 34 children with symptoms suggestive of functional voiding disorders without recurrent urinary tract infections (mean age 6.7+/-2 yr). The underlying bladder abnormalities in Groups I and II were detrusor instability in 22 (64.7%) and 30 (88.2%), respectively (P>0.05) and dysynergic voiding in 10 (29.4%), and 1 (2.9%), respectively (P<0.05). Children with recurrent urinary tract infections are more likely to have a dysynergic voiding pattern than children presenting with other symptoms of functional voiding disorders.
