Hi
I just thought of another possibility.  UTI infections in children can be brought on by worms, such as threadworm or strongyloides.  Better than the other possibility I thought up...sorry, but you never know.

Why is your daughter getting uti infections?  Is her immune system compromised?  Or is there a possibility that she is getting abused without you knowing it?
