[Septicemia associated with urinary infection in infants. Apropos of 36 cases].

While studying 213 cases of septicemia among children less than one year of age, we found 36 cases of septicemia with bacteriuria. Among these 213 septicemic children, urinary tract infection (UTI) was second only to meningitis as an associated focus of infection. A radiological investigation was done in 27 cases; the pyelography or the cystography was abnormal in 14 instances, and 6 of these 14 patients needed to be surgically corrected.
