The VCUG should not be the first examination to be considered in such patients. We think that Tepecik UTI Guideline-2 reduces unnecessary invasive procedure and radiation exposure and not missed VUR in the management of children with UTI at 2-24 months. Needs prospective follow-up studies before considering this recommendation.
