Two children with Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome had radiographic evidence of cysts in the renal medulla, and one had impaired renal function and infection. The frequency of cystic disease in this syndrome implies that intravenous urography should be carried out on all patients with this syndrome. Children with renal abnormalities should be followed to avoid further damage from urinary infection,...

The intravenous injection of virulent staphylococci produces renal infection in 75 to 100 per cent of normal rats.' The renal lesion persists for many months and carries with it little mortality. This model is suitable for the study of disturbances of renal function due to infection, since prior ureteral obstruction or localized renal damage is not required. The present experiments were underta...
