Detailed Description
This is a non-randomised prospective monocentric pilot study whose main objective is to describe the proportion of asymptomatic patients after 5 days of effective antibiotic therapy in an uncomplicated febrile urinary tract infection, in children between 3 months and 18 years of age. After being informed about the study, all patient meeting inclusion criteria will respond to a survey at D2, D5, D10 and D28 to evaluate the persistence of symptoms to determine the effectiveness of a 5-day course of antibiotic treatment. All patients will be treated in accordance to the French guidelines.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Effectiveness of treatment [Day 5]
The main evaluation criteria aims to determine the effectiveness of a 5-day course of antibiotic treatment. Treatment failure is characterised by the presence at Day 5 of clinical signs (abdominal pain, urinary functional signs, urinary burns) and/or a fever ≥ at 38°C and/or a new positive cytobacteriological urine test performed after antibiotic therapy due to the persistence and/or reappearance of symptoms.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Leukocyte count [Day 1]
Leukocyte count (in cell per mm3) in children with uncomplicated febrile urinary tract infections at diagnostic.
- Mode of sampling [Day 1]
Leukocyturia rate (cell per mm3), according to the method of collection, on the sample carried out at the first consultation of children with febrile urinary tract infections at diagnostic.
- Rate of failure [Day 28]
Measurement of the number of patients presenting a failure at Day 10 or a relapse at 28 days of treatment of a febrile urinary infection. This is characterised by the presence or reappearance of symptoms suggestive of a febrile urinary infection and/or fever without any other possible diagnosis and a positive cytobacteriological urine test with a phenotypically identical micro-organism on the new antibiogram
- Procalcitonin levels [Day 1]
Procalcitonin levels (in µg/L) in children with uncomplicated febrile urinary tract infections at diagnostic.
- CRP levels [Day 1]
C Reactive Protein (CRP) levels (in mg/l) in children with uncomplicated febrile urinary tract infections at diagnostic.
- Polynuclear cell count [Day 1]
Blood polynuclear cell count (in cell per mm3) in children with uncomplicated febrile urinary tract infections at diagnostic.
