We propose a new diagnostic method (guidelines II) that is suitable for patients older than 2 months, with obligatory criteria of abnormal urine test and a lower threshold for the colony count required for diagnosis compared to the AAP guidelines. Further research is required to examine the sensitivity and specificity of our proposed guidelines, so it may replace the current diverse guidelines.
