Urinary tract infection: diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of urinary tract infection in children
This NICE guideline is about the care and treatment in the NHS in England and Wales of babies, children and young people who are younger than 16 years with a urinary tract infection (UTI).
The advice in the NICE guideline covers the investigations and treatment that should be given to children younger than 16 years who have a UTI, and the information that should be offered to their families.
It does not look at:
- children who have already been diagnosed with any other kidney, bladder or urinary problems
- children whose immune system is not working properly
- children in intensive care units
- long-term management of repeated UTIs in sexually active girls.
