The difficulties encountered in previous experiments in trying to effect a rapid passage of bacteria through the normal kidney led us to investigate the permeability of an acutely infected kidney. The frequency with which pyelitis occurs secondary to infections in other parts of the body, as well as the relationship of focal infection to pyelitis, as demonstrated by Bumpus and Meisser,¹ and Haden,² makes it seem probable that the invasion of the colon bacillus is often only secondary to some acute lesion of the kidney. Once established, the colon bacillus maintains the infection which would otherwise have subsided with the disappearance of the primary infection. That the colon bacillus is frequently the primary infecting agent and usually the secondary invader is generally accepted, but by what route it reaches the kidney has never been proved.

It has been taken for granted, since the colon bacillus may find its . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
