Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a potential cause of fever in the pediatric patient. Early testing and a timely diagnosis are critical to avert complications and potential scarring of the kidneys. Complication rates in children younger than 90 days of age are 7% and include bacteremia, meningitis, and urosepsis, although a well-appearing infant with a CRP of < 4 mg/dL is significantly less likely to develop complications. The authors present a concise review of the current status of the diagnosis and management of pediatric UTIs.
