Abstract
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an important source of febrile illness in young children; however due to the vague nature of signs and symptoms, particularly in a young nonverbal child, it is challenging to diagnose. Frequently children undergo urethral catheterization for both UTI screening and culture as opposed to the two-step screening process of first collecting urine by a noninvasive means to detect pyuria prior to proceeding with catheterization.
