Practice parameter: the neurodiagnostic evaluation of the child with a first simple febrile seizure

The diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of the initial urinary tract infection in febrile infants and young children
American Academy of Pediatrics. 1999 Apr 5. 19 pages.
From the National Guideline Clearinghouse summary: "Infants and young children 2 months to 2 years of age with UTI who do not demonstrate the expected clinical response within 2 days of antimicrobial therapy should undergo ultrasonography promptly. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) or radionuclide cystography (RNC) is strongly encouraged to be performed at the earliest convenient time. Infants and young children who have the expected response to antimicrobials should have a sonogram performed at the earliest convenient time; a VCUG or RNC is strongly encouraged."
