Abstract
UTI IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DIAGNOSES IN INFANCY, DUE TO CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS FROM ATTENUATED TO POLYMORPHS. THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS RAISES A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS, STARTING WITH THE TECHNICAL ONES, THE CORRECT COLLECTION OF URINE CULTURE AND ENDING WITH THE ALGORITHM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PREVENTION OF RENAL SCARS. THE STUDY CONDUCTED ON INFANTS SHOWS AN IMPORTANT WEIGHT OF UTIS FROM INFANTS' HOSPITALIZED INFANTS. PROPER ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT, AFTER THE RESUL TS OF THE ANTIBIOGRAM, ENSURES HEALING, SUBSEQUENT SUCCESSIVE CONTROLS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE FOLLOW -UP PROTOCOL AND RECURRENCE PREVENTION.
