摘要：

The location (origin) of infecting bacteria, in 22 children known to have persistent or recurrent infection with no radiographically demonstrable abnormality of the bladder or upper urinary tract, was established by the bacteriologic examination of reliable specimens of ureteric urine collected by ureteric catheterization after preliminary bladder irrigation. The antibody response to the infecting organism was determined by the indirect bacterial hemagglutination method. A diagnosis of lower urinary tract infection based upon the bacteriologic data was established in 16 of the children; they had antibody titers of 1 in 320 or less. The remaining 6 children had upper urinary tract infections; all had antibody titers of 1 in 640 or more. © 1969 The C. V. Mosby Company.
