Reaffirmation of AAP Clinical Practice Guideline: The Diagnosis and Management of the Initial Urinary Tract Infection in Febrile Infants and Young Children 2-24 Months of Age

It is the policy of the American Academy of Pediatrics to reassess clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) every five years and retire, revise, or reaffirm them. The members of the urinary tract infection (UTI) subcommittee who developed the 2011 UTI CPG have reviewed the literature published since 2011 along with unpublished manuscripts and the status of some clinical trials still in progress. With this article, the authors reaffirm the 2011 UTI CPG and provide an updated review of the supporting evidence.
