Abstract
Vesicoureteral reflux ceased after eradication of a reservoir of infection in 6 patients. In each case the reflux was mild, the ureter with reflux was not markedly dilated and no ureter had a golfhole orifice. A reservoir of infection should be sought for in adults with chronic or recurrent urinary tract infection and reflux. If it is found and eliminated ureteral reimplantation can be withheld while the patient is followed closely. However, if infection, reflux and associated pyelonephritis persist reimplantation may be necessary.
