Determining the pathogenesis and early initiation of treatment is important for successful treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections and complications. In this case report, we present a pediatric patient presenting with sterile pyuria and hematuria and emphasize that urinary tuberculosis should be suspected in recurrent urinary tract infections.
