But it is a result of a very different actual conditions: youthful fancies, parent's mistakes, influences of the surroundings, ets. The situation of this conditions that we find in other countries and in Italy would resulting a serious problem. If not overcome by positive judgment in the orientation.

[Children are born twice: at birth and in adolescence. The adolescent, his/her parents, and the pediatrician].

We know the young's problem often depended to family and to society. In these years we have seen important changes of the family, that is no more a "patriarchal family" but is a "nuclear family". In general we can say that there is a change of the social levels of the family; in particular the Mass-media (especially television-set) are the most important factors responsible of these changes in fact they block the dialogue between family's members. In Italy we can found about 4.500.000 of adolescents (with age between 14 and 20 years). If we observe recent epidemiological data, we can suppose that: about 500.000 of young men have or will have problems that block them to live serenely their adolescence about 70.000 of young men have had a so important problem than they have a psychiatric personality in the future about 4.000 of young men will die for suicide, drugs or for road's incidences. For adolescents is necessary a doctor with multiple competence. We think that this doctor can be pediatrician because he is the doctor that visit children from neonatal age and, for this reason, ha can identify the "family with problems". In conclusion we can say that the pediatrician could say to adolescent's patents that "it is born a new child" with personal idea and with different attitudes, for these reason they must change the rules that they used before puberty because now the same rules are no more valid!

[The microbiological exam of the urine: what significance in urinary tract infections?].

11,829 urine cultures, coming from the Pediatrics Department of Florence and other hospital divisions for adults in the period 1st of July-31st of December 1990, have been examined in the Bacteriology and Virology Laboratory of the University Hospital of Florence. Besides illustrating various methods of drawing, preservation and transport of the urinary specimen, the authors showed the incidence of bacterial species responsible of urinary tract infections (U.T.I.). E. coli was showed to be the most frequently isolated bacterial strain, followed by Streptococcus faecalis and Proteus indole negative. The incidence of fimbriated E. coli infections was studied in pediatric and adult patients with urinary tract infections; a higher isolation frequency of fimbriated E. coli was showed in pediatric patients and in these patients the correlation was studied between the presence of fimbriated E. coli and the severity of infection (pyelonephritis, recurrent U.T.I.). The percentages of resistance of the isolated strains against the most common chemotherapies was also showed, studying their variations, for some chemotherapies, during about twenty years.

[Host-microorganism interactions in urinary infections in children].

The authors examine the factors which induce urinary tract infections (U.T.I.) in child, considering especially the mechanisms which operate in the microorganism-host relation. Besides, the last acquisitions about clinical pediatric urology are specified. The Author dwells upon the discovery and study of P-fimbriated Escherichia coli, which seems ascertained to be responsible of upper urinary tract infections and which can be identified in Laboratories thanks to the existence of kits prepared for this purpose. With reference to this subject, the Authors report a personal experience about 12 pediatric patients in whose urine P-fimbriated E.coli strains were identified; in these patients the correlation is studied between the presence of P-fimbriated E.coli and the severity of infection (pyelonephritis, recurrent U.T.I.).

[Urinary tract infections in childhood: importance of immediate urine culture. Personal experience with 4176 tests].

Since infections of the urinary tract in children often present diagnostic difficulties, it is essential to be able to identify these patients with simple, reliable methods. After a clinical-laboratory study on 4176 urine cultures, the Authors affirm that the reliability of this test is much greater when the parents have been instructed in the correct way of collection the urine specimen, and when in the laboratory the "slide" is carried out within three hours of taking the sample.
