Journal Title: The Journal of Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The authors report a urinary lithiasis in an infant of 22 months old after being treated unsuccessfully for urinary infections in several hospitals. This observation corroborates with literature about the scarcity of cases of urolithiasis in infant and it shows also the difficulty in diagnosing this desease in poor background in lack of specialists, and equipments.
