Leukocyte Esterase• Has to accumulate in urine• Insufficient accumulation possible
in small infants who void frequently
• Infants <3 months old may not have mature enough immune system to induce leukocytes in urine (beware neutropenia on CBC)

Nitrites• By-products of E. coli and other
lactose fermenters (glucose digestion)

• Insufficient accumulation possible in older child during the day and in older patient who has significant frequency
• If positive, highly suggestive of UTI (high specificity)

Imaging
•Ultrasound•Detects structural malformations
•Helpful in detecting the ureteral dilatation of advanced stage reflux (Grades III-IV)
•Can be done imediately
![Page 29: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Imaging• VCUG (CONTROVERSIAL)
•Bladder is fully filled via catheter with radiopaque liquid
•Child is asked to void•During voiding, look under
fluoroscopy for reflux•Can be done after 48 hrs of
receiving antibiotics•Can be done 4 – 6 weeks after UTI

Imaging• Radionuclide Cystogram (RNC)
•Nuclear study comparative to VCUG

Imaging
• In children with a second febrile UTI who previously had a negative upper tract evaluation, a VCUG is indicated, because low-grade reflux predisposes to clinical pyelonephritis.
• In children with ≥1 infection of the lower urinary tract (dysuria, urgency, frequency, suprapubic pain), imaging is usually unnecessary.
![Page 33: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Imaging
• Instead, assessment and treatment of bladder and bowel dysfunction is important.
• If there are numerous lower urinary tract infections, then a renal sonogram is appropriate, but a VCUG rarely adds useful information.
![Page 34: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UTI
• In 2007, the NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, UK) guidelines:
These recommendations divide children into those <6 mo, 6 mo to 3 yr, and
>3 yr of age.
![Page 35: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UTI
• The clinical categories are separated into those that respond to treatment within
48 hours, recurrent UTI, and atypical UTI (sepsis, non-E. coli UTI, suprapubic mass, elevated serum creatinine, hypertension).
• The recommendations include upper tract imaging with a renal sonogram and DMSA scan for all <6 mo with a UTI and all children <3 yr with an atypical or recurrent UTI.
![Page 36: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UTI
• For children >3 yr, a DMSA scan is recommended only for recurrent UTI.
• A VCUG is recommended only in children <6 mo.
• In 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics released guidelines for management of children 2 m to 2 yr with a febrile UTI.
• This guideline recommended a renal sonogram and VCUG or radionuclide cystogram.
![Page 37: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
We suggest routine imaging (RUS and VCUG) for:
• Girls younger than three years of age with a first UTI (children older than three years are more reliably able to verbalize urinary symptoms)
• Boys of any age with a first UTI• Children of any age with a febrile UTI• Children with recurrent UTI (if they have not
been imaged previously)• First UTI in a child of any age with a family
history of renal disease, abnormal voiding pattern, poor growth, hypertension, or abnormalities of the urinary tract
![Page 38: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
TREATMENT
•Antibiotic treatment
![Page 39: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Usual indications for hospitalization include:
• Age <2 months• Clinical urosepsis or potential
bacteremia• Immunocompromised patient• Vomiting or inability to tolerate oral
medication• Lack of adequate outpatient follow-up
(eg, no telephone, live far from hospital, etc.)
• Failure to respond to outpatient therapy
![Page 40: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Antibacterial prophylaxis
• In patients at risk for developing renal scarring
• Those with VUR with dilatation of the upper urinary tract
• Those who are prone to develop recurrent acute pyelonephnitis
• Repeated attacks of cysititis
![Page 41: Urinary Tract Infection in Children](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061614/56814e67550346895dbc0462/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Risk factors
• Obstruction • Reflux with dilatation • Age • Delay of treatment • Number of pyelonephritic attacks • Uncommon bacteria ( non –E. coli)
