Convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample; total 100 mothers of under-five children in selected hospitals at Madurai district were selected for the present study. A structured questionnaire on knowledge and 5 point likert’s attitude scale was used to assess the knowledge regarding attitude regarding urinary tract infection respectively. Results of the study revealed that 67 % mothers had inadequate knowledge, following that 26% mothers had moderate knowledge and only 7 % had adequate knowledge.
