Urine samples are commonly collected from young children to diagnose or exclude urinary tract infections, but collection from precontinent children is challenging. Each collection method has advantages and limitations. Non-invasive methods (urine pads, bags, clean catch) are convenient but can be time-consuming and are limited by sample contamination. Voiding stimulation methods (bladder-lumbar stimulation, Quick-Wee) can expedite clean catch collection. Invasive methods (catheter, suprapubic aspiration) can be more reliable, but require expertise to perform and cause pain for the child. This article reviews each collection method, and describes collection procedures, indications and strategies to optimise success and reduce contamination.

Ureteritis cystica is an uncommon cause of acute renal pain. The aetiology remains unclear and the diagnosis may be difficult to establish. We report the case of a 29 year old woman with a history of repeated urinary tract infections presenting with acute renal colic in the absence of lithiasis. We review the diagnostic tools available to make the diagnosis and the recent pertinent literature.

This is written to call attention to urinary tract infections as one of the causes of the colic-syndrome in infants. Though many esoteric entities have been mentioned, neither the article by Clark et al. (Pediatrics, 31:65, 1963) nor others I've surveyed mention cystitis in the differential diagnosis of infantile colic. During the past 18 months our two-man pediatric practice has encountered urinary tract infection as the cause of "colic" in three infants. In the first of these we had been aware of a very tense family situation from experience with the two older children.
