Abstract
UTI is a common problem in infants and young children;
its frequency, symptoms and causative organisms vary in accordance with
sex, age, and gender. UTI in neonates can be asymptomatic, so the
diagnosis must be made by the examination and culture of a properly

abnormality of the urinary tract, such as obstructive uropathy. In addition
they may have long-term consequences.
