Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of fever inunder-five children, however it is grossly under-diagnosed and untreated. Unrecognised UTI increases the likelihood of adverse short and long-term outcomes such as renal scarring, hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD).Furthermore, antibiotic sensitivity (or resistance) profile of UTI-causing organisms is a dynamic event, with global and regional data indicating reducing sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics; this creates a need for each practice environment to routinely assess the antibiotic sensitivity profile of common organisms.
