title: [Urinary tract infections in the first 2 years of life. Usefulness of anamnesis in the identification of at risk subjects with malformation uropathies].
abstract: We have retrospectively studied 101 patients with an age below 24 months consecutively hospitalized, for symptomatic urinary tract infections, in the "Ospedale dei Bambini" of Palermo and subjected to radiological studies (urography and voiding cystouretrography). We have considered if the symptoms and the clinical objectivity could have given useful indications in the choice of the patients to be subjected to radiological studies. The clinical-anamnestic data have not allowed to distinguish, among patients with U.T.I., between the individuals with an abnormal conformation those with a normal one; however they have allowed to focus our attention on patients with U.T.I. through the singling out of some symptoms such as fever, vomit, cyanosis and anomaly micturition. Another datum standing out from our study is that the beginning of the symptoms in patients with U.T.I. was more precocious if at their basis there was urinary malformation.
