Abstract

The authors [1] retrospectively review their single-institution experience to evaluate whether the 2011 AAP Guidelines [2] for management of a febrile UTI (fUTI) in children aged 2–24 months could successfully be extrapolated to children under 2 months of age. While the AAP Guidelines are currently being rewritten, this manuscript's findings are provocative: there was no difference between older and younger children regarding urinalysis results and bacterial isolates, though the younger children had longer lengths of stay, but appeared less ill, and were more likely to have voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) recommended and performed.
