Zusammenfassung:Association of pyelonephritis with icterus has been observed in 26 young infants. The observations suggest that in the case of early infantile hyperbilirubinaemia it is important to search for urinary tract infection which may remain an asymptomatic bacteriuria. Liver function tests were performed in 21 children aged 1 month to 8 years suffering from pyelonephritis without hyperbilirubinaemia. In 6 infants a pathologic BSP-retention was found, probably due to toxic effects of Gram-negative bacteria. It is concluded that BSP-retention might indicate the severity of the disease.
