Background
- After 1yr of age occult UTI w/ nl UA extremely rare
- After 2yr of age UTI remains common in girls (but a/w symptoms)
- Associated w/ bacteremia in up to 30% of infants between 4-8wk of age
- Do not use nitrofurantoin in children (need bloodstream penetration)
- UTI in adolescent girl is suggestive of intercourse
Diagnosis
Clinical Presentation
- Infants/young children: Fever without other source
- Older children: Urinary complaints, abd/back pain
Labs
- UA
- Obtain clean catch specimen OR cath UA
- Neg UA = neg LE, nit, GS & <5 WBC
- Bag urine results in 83% false pos; only useful if negative
- UCx
- Send on all pts except for:
- 1. Low-risk pts w/ normal UA and another explanation for sx
- 2. Older adolescent females w/ very high post-test probability w/o severe illness
- 20% of +Ucx will have negative UA
- Send on all pts except for:
