Problem Characteristics Ill-appearing/ Toxic Well-appearing/ Non-toxic Localized problemSystemic problem AcquiredCongenital New problem Recurrence of old problem Symptoms Acute /subacuteChronic LocalizedDiffuse SingleMultiple StaticProgressive ConstantIntermittent Single EpisodeRecurrent AbruptGradual SevereMild PainfulNonpainful BiliousNonbilious Sharp/StabbingDull/Vague
3
Predisposing Conditions Age, gender, preceding events (trauma, viral illness, etc), medication use, past medical history (diagnoses, surgeries, etc) Pathophysiological Insult What is physically happening in the body, organisms involved, etc. Clinical Manifestations Signs and symptoms Labs and imaging
6
Incidence: Female (8%) > Male (1%)*** Uncircumcised = 5+ fold increased risk Obstruction Anatomic abnormality Posterior urethral valves UPJ obstruction Ureterocele Nephrolithiasis Renal tumor Indwelling catheter Constipation***
7
Ascension of bowel flora Organisms*** E. coli = most common…up to 70% Other GNR and GBS (especially in neonates) Klebsiella Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staph saprophyticus (sexually active girls) Enterococcus Staphylococcus (renal abscess, pyelonephritis) Nephritogenic bacterial strains of E. coli (fimbriae bind to uro-epithelial cells)
8
Babies and young children Fever (or hypothermia) Feeding problems +/- FTT Jaundice Malodorous urine Decreased activity or irritability Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain >2yo = more classic symptoms Urgency, frequency, hesitancy Dysuria Back or abdominal pain
9
Urinalysis*** +nitrite (more specific) +leukocyte esterase (more sensitive) Pyuria…presence of at least 5 WBC per hpf Bacteriuria Urine culture*** Gold standard Must have > 50,000cfu on an adequate specimen Catheterization Supra-pubic aspiration Bag urine culture is NOT appropriate!!
11
UA suggesting infection Pyuria and/or bacteriuria Urine Culture At least 50,000 cfu/ml from sample obtained via catheterization/SPA
12
Infection of the urinary tract anywhere from the urethra to the renal parenchyma. Infants have risk of concurrent bacteremia.*** Epidemiology*** 7-9% of infants (<3mo) with a fever and no identifiable source are diagnosed with UTI.*** Most common cause of serious bacterial infections (SBI) in babies < 3mo. Is seen in conjunction with viral illnesses (i.e. RSV) in neonates.
14
LOWER TRACT UTIUPPER TRACT UTI Dysuria Frequency Urgency Suprapubic pain Discharge Dribbling/incontinence Hematuria Cloudy hurine Pelvic/perineal pain Constitutional symptoms Lower UTI symptoms + Fever Chills Costovertebral/Flank pain Nausea Vomiting
15
If < 3 months Ill or toxic appearing Dehydration Inability to take PO Failed outpatient treatment Chronic disease ( SCD, DM, CF, immunocompromise)
16
Oral vs. Intravenous Once the identification and sensitivity are known, antibiotics should be tailored appropriately*** Treatment duration = 7-14 days*** Augmentin Bactrim Suprax Vantin Cefzil Ceftin Keflex
17
First time UTI*** (CHANGED in 2011) Renal and bladder ultrasound Timing is dependant upon clinical picture… VCUG only if US reveals Hydronephrosis Renal scarring Other findings that would suggest high-grade VUR or obstructive uropathy Recurrence of febrile UTI*** VCUG
19
Prior to 2011 Guidelines Antibiotic prophylaxis in children until VCUG performed and if ANY grade of reflux (VUR) Not shown to make statistically significant difference in Grades I – IV Reflux in terms of prevention of UTI recurrence. High grade reflux should be referred to urology
20
Renal damage caused by a combination of VUR and urinary tract infections (often recurrent) that occur in childhood. Asymptomatic in early stages*** Can cause long term complications HTN*** Proteinuria Progressive renal failure Increased risk of pregnancy-related complications
21
For Clinicians – recurrent UTIs should lead clinician to research previous bacterial isolates/sensitivities Instruct parents to seek medical evaluation for future febrile illness Ensure that recurrent infection can be detected and dx and treatment is not delayed
22
Noon conference June Compliance is due today
