most kids w. UTI will have what UA finding

gs dx for UTIs
urine culture
UA specimen older kids vs infants/young kids
older: midstream, clean catch
infants/young kids: bladder cath vs suprapubic collection
what peds should get RBUS (renal bladder US) (4)
-all infants/kids 2-24 mos following first febrile UTI
-any ped w. recurrent febrile UTI
-any ped w. UTI and hx of renal or urologic dz/poor growth/HTN
-peds who do not respond as expected to abx following UTI
tx for pediatric UTIs: low risk of renal involvement vs high risk
low risk: keflex
high risk: cefixime vs cefdinir vs ceftibuten
abx NOT recommended for empiric tx for UTIs in peds due to resistance to e.coli
