Neonatal urinary system infection

A urinary system infection of newborn is a bacterial infection or an increase in leukocytes or pus cells in the urine caused by a bacterial infection. Bacteria can be spread by blood lines or directly invade the urinary tract and cause infections, including pyelonephritis, Cystitis and urethritis are collectively referred to as urinary tract infections because the infection is difficult to confine to a certain part of the urinary tract and cannot be clinically located. The presence of urinary tract infections often indicates whether we have potential urinary tract malformations (ureteric hernia, ureteropelvic junction obstruction), bladder ureteral reflux, or functional bladder abnormalities. Symptoms are divided into acute and chronic. The former is acute, and the symptoms are more typical and easier to diagnose. Chronic and recurrent infections can cause kidney damage. Neonatal urinary system infections are often accompanied by structural abnormalities of the urinary system. Care should be taken to find out the cause, remove the congenital obstruction, and prevent kidney damage and scar formation.
