Materials and methods: experimental investigation, retrospective, transversal and descriptive. Population represented by RN graduates with infectious diagnoses (712 infants), confirming the ITU only 25 infants. a tab data collection of clinical records, calculated in Excel tables and graphs presented in absolute and relative frequency was applied. Results: 72% male, with a ratio M: F 2.5 / 1. 56% presented belatedly infection. 56% of pregnancies were monitored and 72% of these had infectious background. Frequent clinical manifestations: fever (68%), followed by jaundice and neurological disorders (36 and 32%, respectively). For diagnostic analysis of samples collected through the collection bag in 100% of the RN we were used; fully presented alterations Gram, 92% and 80% leucocituria positive nitrites. The most common pathogen was E. coli (46%), there was no microbial isolation in 48% of cases. 46.7% had urological abnormalities Conclusions: The ITU is an infectious severe problem with major consequences in the future. underregistration possible difficulty was identified in the diagnosis in the absence of conducting uronalisis and / or urine Gram most RN considered at risk of sepsis. So it is recommended to promote the proper management of multidisciplinary RN at entry and exit of the institution. Keywords: urinary
