Pee-r Reviewed: New AAP UTI Guidelines!

The latest UTI guidelines are giving pediatric clinicians plenty to think about - and a few things to rethink. Join pediatric hospitalist and guideline author Dr. Brian Alverson for a practical discussion of evaluating and treating UTIs in children from 8 days through 5 years of age. We’ll walk through when to test, how to collect and interpret urine samples, when waiting is reasonable, and why constipation should not be overlooked. Along the way, we’ll tackle shorter antibiotic courses, imaging decisions, prophylaxis, and strategies for avoiding overtreatment.
