    Journal: Z Kinderchir Grenzgeb; 1979 Dec; 28(4):377-84. PubMed ID: 551623.
    Abstract:
    The pathogenesis of shunt nephritis is reviewed and attention is drawn to the association between this disease and chronic shunt colonisation with delayed diagnosis. The results of applying a surveillance scheme, involving serological to patients having shunt surgery are reported. Ten cases of shunt nephritis occurred in a group of patients not followed by this method, whereas only one case occurred in the surveillance group.
