ABSTRACT
Urinary tract infection is defined as the growth of microorganisms in a sterile urine culture in a patient with compatible clinical symptoms. The presence of bacteria without any symptomatology is known as asymptomatic bacteriuria and does not require any treatment. In neonates and infants, fever is the guiding sign to suspect urinary tract infection. Classic urinary tract symptoms become more important in older children. Urine culture collected before starting antibiotics is always required for diagnosis. Clean-catch (midstream) sample should be collected for urine culture. In case of non-toilet-trained children, sample must be obtained by urethral catheterization, or suprapubic puncture in neonates and infants. Samples collected by urine bag should not be used for urine culture. There are no significant differences in the clinical evolution and prognosis between oral versus short intravenous followed by oral antibiotic. Empirical antibiotic therapy should be guided on local susceptibility patterns. Second-generation cephalosporin (children under six years) and fosfomycin trometamol (over 6 years), are empiric therapy recommended in this consensus. In the case of pyelonephritis, recommended antibiotic treatment are third-generation cephalosporins (outpatient care) or, if admission is required, aminoglycosides. Ampicillin should be added in infants less than three months old. Antibiotic de-escalation both intravenous and oral should be always practiced once the result of the urine culture is known.
