This table is meant for use with UpToDate content on UTI in children. The indications for obtaining urine samples correspond to a pretest probability of UTI ≥2% (ie, approximately 10 children need to be tested for every UTI detected, which are the thresholds used in UTICalc, available from the University of Pittsburgh).[1] Thresholds may vary depending on duration of symptoms, feasibility of follow-up, and parental views toward catheterization.

UTI: urinary tract infection.

* Other source of fever includes (but is not limited to) acute otitis media; pneumonia; meningitis; upper respiratory tract infection, gastroenteritis, bronchiolitis, or other viral syndrome.

¶ Documented UTI or UTI reported by caregiver.

Δ Although the pretest probability is <2% for female or uncircumcised children age 12 through 23 months with a history of UTI, maximum temperature <39°C, and fever <48 hours, children with a history of febrile UTI are at increased risk for kidney scarring with recurrent UTI and we obtain a urine sample for urinalysis and urine culture in such children.
