Hi,
Thankyou for your quiry.
Since pyelonephritis is it self inflamation in kidney part (infection ),which can be caused by previous bladder infection and if the sensitive antibiotics are not given for treatment.For that get a urine culture first and if culture is positive then sensitivity of antibiotics according to infection type (bacterial,viral and fungal) will be known .
As girls are more at risk,because urethra is closer to the anus,which makes it easier for bacteria from bowl to travel up the urethra.Not only infection can cause pyelonephritis ,if there is malfunctioning kidneys it can also cause pyelonephritis,for that she need to be got checked by a nephrologist and discuss further.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
