Abstract
Ten children suffering from spina bifida with recurrent urinary tract infections and incontinence have been treated by intermittent non-sterile catheterization both at home and at school. Six have shown improvement in both infection rate and incontinence. Two have undergone urinary diversion, and two have had an equivocal result.Keywords
