Summary
Pediatric urinary tract infections, or UTIs, don't always follow a scrip t. While they're one of th e most co mmon diagnoses, they're also one of the most nuan ced. T hey can be subtle, inconsistent and easy to over — or under — diagnose. Aside from clear urinary symptoms, they can show up as a feve r without a source, vague abdominal pain, new incontinence or a child who simply isn't acting like the mselv es. And in those moments, the decisions pediatricians make such as who to test, how to collect a sample or how to interpret results, carry real clinical weight. To dive into this topic, we are joined by Kevin Olson , PA , and Meghan Rommel , NP, w ho practice in the Department of Pediatric Urology at Children's Hospital Colorado. Some highlights from this episode include: The challenges of diagnosis and the importance of getting it right How UTIs present differently across age s When to use antibiotics versus when more discovery is needed Approaching recurrent UTIs in children For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org .
