Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a frequent clinical problem in infants and children, and they may develop into serious complications with long-term sequelae. Their prevalence varies according to age and sex: males are more interested in the neonatal period and in the first year of age, while females are more involved after that time. The clinical outcome and the severity of UTIs depend on many risk factors including urinary tract malformations and dysfunctions, virulence and properties of the pathogen, host response to the infection, and promptness of diagnosis and management.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a frequent clinical problem in infants and children, and they may develop into serious complications with long-term sequelae. Their prevalence varies according to age and sex: males are more interested in the neonatal period and in the first year of age, while females are more involved after that time. The clinical outcome and the severity of UTIs depend on many risk factors including urinary tract malformations and dysfunctions, virulence and properties of the pathogen, host response to the infection, and promptness of diagnosis and management.File in questo prodotto:
