Surveillance report 2016 : diagnosis and management (2007) NICE guideline CG54Urinary tract infection in under 16s

The recommendations (of original guideline) specify the use of urine dipstick testing in children aged 3 years and over. The new evidence suggests that the accuracy of urine dipstick tests is equivalent to that of microscopy in younger children and infants (for example children aged less than 3 months to 3 years old). Evidence available during the development of the original guideline did not take into account diptstick testing in younger infants and therefore this area should be included in an update of this question..
