U T I IN INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD
Bacilluria is a condition where large numbers of micro- organisms are found in the urine, but no pus cells. Bacilluria may present the onset or the termination of an attack of pyelitis, or it may be a distinct entity. From a practical stand- point it is safe to say that the terms “pyelitis” and pyelonephritis” cover the situation fairly well, the latter term being reserved for the more serious cases.
