Introduction: Urinary tract infections (UTI), when not properly diagnosed and treated, can lead to short- and long-term complications, impacting not only current health, but also future kidney development. Objective: To analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to UTI in the pediatric age group. Methodology: This is a bibliographical review, using articles present in the following databases: PubMed, Scopus and SciELO. Original articles and systematic reviews in English and Portuguese published between 2014 and 2024 were included, which addressed diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to UTI in the pediatric age group. After analysis, 16 articles were selected to prepare this bibliographic review. Results and Discussion: The incorporation of complementary exams plays a crucial role in the diagnostic approach to UTI in pediatric patients, particularly given the atypical presentation of symptoms. The therapeutic approach generally includes administration of antibiotics, supportive care and, when necessary, further investigation to identify possible urinary tract abnormalities. Conclusion: Pediatric UTIs, although common, present diagnostic challenges due to often atypical symptoms and difficulty communicating in younger patients. Therefore, it is clear that early diagnosis and treatment are essential to ensure the health and well-being of affected children.
