Frequency Of Septic Complications After Voiding Cystourethrography Without Prior Urine Culture In Children Three Months To Six Years Of Age With Urinary Tract Infection And Clinical Response To Antibiotic Treatment

In an effort to measure the frequency of septic complications secondary to the development of voiding cystourethrography without urine culture in children three months to six years with UTI treated at the Hospital San Ignacio and had adequate clinical response to antibiotics. We designed a retrospective cohort study of two years. We reviewed a total of 243 medical records of patients whose data were extracted based on the data collection form. None of the 59 patients who met the inclusion criteria had septic complications. It intends to develop a prospective longitudinal study that seeks to demonstrate the consistency of the clinical judgment of urinary infection cure for 48 hours without fever after the start of treatment, with negative urine culture necessary, proposed in the current guidelines, to prevent application to minimize health care costs and times and timeliness of care.
