After diagnosing a urinary tract infection in a 14-month-old, you note partial fusion of the labia
minora that extends for 1 centimeter and obscures the posterior fourchette. There is no

does not seem to bother the child. No difference in size is noted when the child strains or cries.
His scrotum’s size is normal in the morning but increases as the day progresses. The scrotal
mass is transilluminable and both testes are located in the scrotal sac. You anticipate:
a. Emergent referral to a pediatric surgeon/urologist for repair
b. Surgical repair of the above condition before age 1 to maintain testicular viability
c. Reassurance for the parents and observation of the condition with no need for further
intervention as long as the mass resolves by age 1
d. Increased risk of testicular cancer with decreased fertility in later life

c. Radionucleotide scan of the left
testicle
d. Treatment with testosterone
You see a 3-year-old female with dysuria. She is potty trained, febrile, and nontoxic. She has no
prior history of UTI. Urine dipstick reveals 1+ leukocyte esterase, 2+ nitrites, 1+ non-hemolyzed

discharge. Which of the following treatments is recommended?
a. Start sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (Bactrim) for 10 days and refer for renal ultrasound by
day 2 of illness.
b. Start azithromycin (Zithromax) for 5 days, increase fluids, and send urine for culture and
