Indian Pediatr. 2024 Apr 15;61(4):363-369. Epub 2024 Feb 26.

Abstract

Non-specific symptoms and difficulty in collecting urine specimens make the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) challenging in children. However, timely diagnosis and initiation of therapy are essential to prevent complications. Children with recurrent UTIs require detailed evaluation and follow-up for optimal management. We report key updates from the revised evidence-based practice guidelines of the Indian Society of Pediatric Nephrology for UTIs and primary vesicoureteric reflux.
