title: [Detection of antibody-coated bacteria in the urine of adults with chronic pyelonephritis].
abstract: Urine samples of 59 patients suffering from chronic pyelonephritis were tested repeatedly for antibody-coated bacteria (ACB). We demonstrated that the number of positive results increased with the frequency of the tests performed. It was observed, however, that antibody-coated bacteria were not found consistently in every sample during a longer period of observation.
