- Confirmed UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) diagnosis.
Documented Clinical Improvement at Randomization.
- Afebrile: No documented temperature > / = 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius (measured anywhere on the body) 24 hours prior to the enrollment visit
Asymptomatic: report NONE of the following symptoms:
Symptoms for all children (ages two months to 10 years):
Fever (a documented temperature of at least 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit OR 38 degrees Celsius measured anywhere on the body)

Additional symptoms for children > 2 years of age:
- suprapubic, abdominal, or flank pain or tenderness OR
- urinary urgency, frequency, or hesitancy (defined as an increase in these symptoms from pre-diagnosis conditions)
Additional symptoms for children > / = 2 months to 2 years of age:
- poor feeding OR
- vomiting
Only children who have been prescribed one of the four antibiotics for which a placebo is available will be eligible to participate.
- TMP-SMX; Cefixime; Cefdinir or Cephalexin. (Note a child that received a one-time dose of I.M. or I.V. medication (i.e. in ER or clinic) prior to starting on the one of the four oral medications is eligible for enrollment)
- Parental or guardian permission (informed consent) and if appropriate, child assent (if > / = seven years of age).
Exclusion Criteria:

- A child that is not able to take oral medications.
- Previous surgery of the genitourinary tract (except circumcision in male children).
- Presence of an immunocompromising condition (e.g., HIV, malignancy, solid-organ transplant recipients, use of chronic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agents).
- Unlikely to complete follow-up (e.g. not available for the two follow-up study visits and the follow-up phone call).
- A child with a known history of type I hypersensitivity of the study antibiotics to be prescribed .
- Enrollment in another antibiotic study less than 30 days prior to enrollment visit.
- Previous enrollment of individuals in this study.
- Planned enrollment during this study coincides with enrollment in another therapeutic drug study (excluding vaccine).
- A child with a history of UTI within the past 30 days.
- A child with known Grade III-V VUR.
