title: Investigation of urinary infection in childhood.
abstract: The first proven urinary infection in both girls and boys should be investigated with an IVP and micturating cystourethrogram. If both investigations are normal, recurrent infections will not produce renal scars. Renal scars will develop in 10 per cent of children with reflux, unless renal infections are prevented by appropriate drug or surgical treatment.
