Infection of the urinary tract is a common condition in childhood and one which is often overlooked. In a recent large survey significant bacteriuria was found in 1% of a schoolgirl population, many of these children being symptomless (Kunin et al., 1962). De Luca et al. (1963 found an average delay in diagnosis of 18 months, and only 28% of Burke's (1961) Necropsy information is available in one infant dying at 6 weeks. In 12 children, nine of them newborn, investigation was not carried out either because permission was refused or they were lost to follow-up soon after the initial illness.
