Diagnostic Imaging after an Initial Febrile Urinary Tract Infection in Infants 2-24 Months Old: A Review of the Evidence
نویسنده
چکیده
In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released an updated clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and management of the initial UTI in febrile infants from 2-24 months. Of particular note, previous guidelines had included the routine use of a Voiding Cysto Urethro Gram (VCUG) in the diagnostic evaluation of infants after a febrile UTI. The new guidelines, however, recommend only targeted imaging with VCUG based on risk factors and recurrent infections [1-3] This change sparked controversy, and a debate regarding how to interpret the current literature and its implications for patient management [4,5].
