AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess yield of imaging performed as per Indian Society of 
      Pediatric Nephrology (ISPN) urinary tract infection (UTI) guideline. METHODS: 
      Ultrasonography (USG), voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) and 
      dimercaptosuccinic-acid (DMSA) scintigraphy were performed in 183 children (age 
      0-5y) with first episode (age 0-1y) of UTI or recurrent (age <5y) UTI, as per 
      ISPN recommendations. RESULTS: Significant abnormalities were detected in 110 
      (63%), with vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) grades 3-5 in 31% and renal scars in 43%. 
      Combined USG and DMSA had a negative predictive value of 94% for significant VUR. 
      CONCLUSION: ISPN guideline resulted in a high yield of detection of significant 
      abnormalities.
