dysfunctional voiding
acute abdomen ( appe, STD)
Foreign body
Sexual abuse
Dysfunctional voiding related to constipation
UTI specimen collection - Clean catch urine midstream
(bagged specimen don't do it)
Straight Cath for mod to severe symptoms

-UTI in child <3 months
-males with first infection and females with second infection. even if not pyelonephritis and

2. Amoxicillin 30-40 mg/kg/day TID <3months
3. Augmentin 40mg/kg/day TID
4. Sulfisoxazole 150mg/kg/day QID
5. Cephalexin 50mg/kg/day TID
6. Nitrofurantin 5-7mg/kg/day in divided doses
(ideal treatment for UTI due to highly concentrated in the urine, but less effective for
systemic/renal infections as it does not concentrate well in blood)
Follow up Urine cultures - -2nd culture at 72 hours after initiating treatment if symptoms
are not rsolving
-culture 1 week after completion of treatment when test of cure is indicated.
