title: [Recurrent cystitis in children: do predisposing factors exist for its onset?].
abstract: It is known that a great number of subjects, mainly little girls, frequently go to pediatric's observation for recurrent episodes of pollakiuria, dysuria or burning miction. They often complain enuresis, sometimes tenesmus so intense that they arrive at the incontinence (urge incontinence). Many of these cases, quickly defined as cystitis, really revealed that they weren't. Repetitively negative bacteriologic examinations allow us to classify them as "sham syndromes", as Stephens called them. According to what we said above, we wondered whether any recurrent cystitis are not favoured by missed observation of definite rules.
