Q

Secondary non-retractability of foreskin generally caused by:

    - Child restrained in supine position and frog leg positioned
    - First few drops of urine obtained may be discarded to prevent contamination of the urine with urethral organisms or cells
92
Q

which lab is required for the diagnosis of a UTI

A

urine cx

93
Q

Usual indications for hospitalization or IV therapy for UTI include:

A
  1. Age less than 2 mos
  2. Clinical urosepsis (toxic appearance, hypotension, poor capillary refill)
  3. Immunocompromised patient
  4. Vomiting or inability to tolerate oral medication
  5. Lack of adequate outpatient f/u (no telephone/reliable transportation)
  6. Treatment failure
94
Q

tx for UTI

A
  • 3rd gen cephalo - cefdinir, cefpodoxime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime
  • cipro only for Pseudomonas
  • Nitrofurantoin not recommended in UTI in febrile infants and young children with renal involvement
  • 10 days for febrile children
  • 3-5 days for immune-competent children without fever
95
Q

mgmt if clinical condition worsens or fails to respond within 48 hours for UTI

A

broadening antimicrobial therapy may be indicated if culture/sensitivity results not yet available
US to rule out renal abscess

96
Q

Indications for RBUS for UTI

A
  1. < 2 y/o w/ first febrile UTI
  2. any age w/ recurrent UTIs
  3. any age w/ UTI + FHx renal or urologic dz, poor growth, or HTN
  4. do not respond to abx
97
Q

VCUG indications for UTI:

A
  1. Children of any age with two or more febrile UTIs OR
  2. Children of any age with a first febrile UTI AND
    - Any anomalies on renal ultrasound, or the combination of temperature of 102.2F and a pathogen other than E. Coli, or poor growth or hypertension
98
Q

The retrograde passage of urine from the bladder into the upper urinary tract
predisposes to recurrent UTI, which may lead to renal scarring, hypertension, and end stage renal disease

A

vesicoureteral reflux

99
Q

w/u for VUR

A
  • post/pre-natal: hydronephrosis on prenatal US
  • postnatal: febrile UTI, demonstration of reflux of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract by VCUG
  • renal function, growth parameters, and BP
  • Renal function with following tests: UA + Serum Creatinine
100
Q

VUR staging

A
  • Grade 1: reflux into ureter
  • Grade 2: into kidneys
  • Grade 3: into kidneys, dilation of ureter
  • Grade 4: into kidneys, dilation of ureter, and mild blunting of renal calyces
  • Grade 5: into kidneys, dilation of ureter, and moderate to severe blunting of renal calyces
101
Q

mgmt for grades 1-2 VUR

A

Watchful waiting d/t spontaneous resolution, can give daily abx in children not potty-trained

102
Q

ngmt for grades 3-5 VUR

A
  • abx prophylaxis
  • Surgery for children with grades 4-5, and for stage 3 with no compliance with medical mgmt., or breakthrough infections on abx
  • Surgery corrects anatomy at the refluxing UV Junction
  • handled by pediatric urologist
103
Q
  • Defined as voiding in bed or on clothes that occurs at least twice per week for at least 3 consecutive months in a child who is at least 5 years of age
  • Has a strong hereditary component
  • Developmental factors, such as delayed speech and walking speculated; however studies yield conflicting results
A

enuresis

104
Q

two types of enuresis

A
  • Diurnal-wetting in daytime
  • Nocturnal-passage of urine during nighttime
105
Q

what is monosymptomatic vs polysymptomatic enuresis?

A
  • Monosymptomatic is nocturnal enuresis when no daytime symptoms
  • polysymptomatic is associated with symptoms such as urgency, frequency, dribbling, or daytime enuresis
106
Q

complications of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis

A
  • children have polyuria that exceeds child’s bladder capacity
  • Can have decreased ADH release at night
  • Been reported with sleep disorders such as apnea
  • Anatomic abnormalities (urethral obstruction, ectopic ureters)
  • Strong association with constipation
  • Lesions of spinal cord results in neurogenic bladder
107
Q

what is Diurnal enuresis

A

occur when urine is held until the last minute, common in preschoolers
UTIs

108
Q

w/u for enuresis

A
  • Urinalysis (hematuria, rbc casts, proteinuria, glucosuria)
  • Urine culture
  • Can add ultrasound if daytime symptoms present or if initial studies are positive
  • Can proceed to voiding cystourethrogram
109
Q

mgmt for enuresis

A
  1. treat constipation or UTIs first
  2. If both day and nighttime sx present, treat daytime first
  3. Treat underlying cause if needed
  4. Can be frustrating for parents and children
  5. Mainstay of NE is alarm therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy
  6. Conservative measures for NE such as minimize fluid intake before bed; Wake child to urinate before parents go to bed; During day, encourage child to go completely and often; Positive reinforcement with charts, gifts
  7. desmopressin: tx monosymptomatic NE d/t antidiuretic activity; In short term, may give more rapid result; Relapse is common
  8. Oxybutynin-ditropan-anticholinergic: tx overactive bladder and daytime enuresis
