Summary One hundred and seven cases of urinary tract infection in children, hospitalized during the years 1940‐1949, were reinvestigated with an observation time ranging from 15 to 24 years. Primary and late mortality was low. Non‐obstructive urinary infections in boys show a good prognosis, concerning recurrence as well as progressive renal disease. Non‐obstructive urinary tract infection in girls seems to be a potentially serious disease, where recurrence developed in half the cases in spite of the initial sulpha‐treatment given. A minimum of 19 % of the girls showed progressive renal disease according to radiological examinations. Early recurrence, according to the primary report, increased the risk of progressive renal disease from 4 to 30%. In 40% of the girls with late symptomatic recurrence, progressive renal disease could be diagnosed at about 20 years of age. The reinvestigation shows that in certain individuals the child's susceptability to recurrent urinary tract infection is retained even in the adult, in whom it manifests itself as acute pyelonephritis. It is of special interest to note that between one half to one third of those who had been pregnant had suffered from urinary tract infection of pregnancy. At about 20 years observation time negative results of single determination of blood pressure, sedimentation rate, haemoglobin, serum‐creatinine, protein or leucocytes or bacteria in the urine and maximal urinary concentration capacity does not seem to guarantee the ab‐scence of chronic or recurrent pyelonephritis. A thorough case history, including a paediatric history, is recommended in dealing with urinary tract infections in children and young adults.
