Purpose : For prevention of renal scar, early diagnosis and treatement of acute pyelonephritis
are important in children with febrile urinary tract infection. But it has been difficult to
differentiate acute pyelonephritis from lower urinary tract infection. We have performed this study
to evaluate the diagnostic value of 99mTc-DMSA renal scan and to clarify the relationship among
acute pyelonephritis, vesico-ureteral reflux and renal scar.
