title: [Infections of the urinary tract in the newborn and infants].
abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are not an uncommon event in the neonatal population. The reported incidence of UTIs in the newborns ranges from 0.1% to 5.5%, depending on the characteristics of the population studied and the diagnostic criteria used. A review of epidemiology, clinic, laboratory findings, imaging and therapy of neonatal UTIs is presented. Particular emphasis is given to the experience of the Italian Neonatal Nephrology Study Group.
