Abstract: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is defined by the presence of a pure growth of more than 10 5colony forming units of bacteria per milliliter of urine. In early childhood, Enterobacteria and Enterococci are part of the normal per urethral flora. Escherichia coli is the dominant gram-negative species in young girls, whereas E. coli and Proteus species predominate in boys. In infants and young children, UTIs may be harder to detect because symptoms are less specific. In fact, fever is sometimes the only sign. Subject of this search was comparative frequency of community acquired urinary tract in Iranian girl children’s during of 2009 and 2010 year. Materials and Methods Urine cultures were routinely obtained on children younger than 10 years of age. Standard quantitative culture was performed by laboratory technologists. Results According to result of 2009 year, from 325 urine sample, frequency of urinary trace infection in girl children was 5.1% and according to result of 2010 year, from 702 urine sample, frequency of urinary trace infection in girl children was 5.3%. Conclusion UTI are a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year. Infections of the UTI are the second most common type of infection in the body. Some things that may help prevent UTIs in child include of: avoid giving your child bubble baths, dress your child in loose-fitting clothing and in girl, teach her to wipe from front to back after she uses the bathroom so that germs from the rectum aren’t wiped into the vagina.
