The incidence of bacterial infections in the neonatal period is 5-6%.Prolonged jaundice is one of the common problems of the neonatal period, and urinary tract infection is also included in the etiology. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of urinary tract infection, which is one of the important causes in newborns with prolonged jaundice, and to determine accompanying etiological factors. In addition, to review clinical, laboratory and radiological findings and to compare cases with positive radiological findings, to prevent complications secondary to urinary tract infection with early diagnosis.
