Abstract
Suprapubic aspiration was easily performed in a group of 32 mentally retarded children, and it obviated the difficulties with contamination inherent in bag urines. Supra-pubic aspiration is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of urinary tract infections that may arise in mentally retarded children.
