The purpose of this article is to present data on 3 groups of female children, comprising a total of 169 patients, who were followed through successive episodes of urinary tract infection (UTI) with respect to recurrence of infection. Specifically, the authors will consider: (a) the influence of vesico‐ureteral reflux on the recurrence rate of infection and (b) whether or not surgical correction of reflux influenced the rate of infection.
