Nephritis in Children and its Prognosis.

Being in some doubt as to the prognosis of nephritis in childhood, and hesitating to base our beliefs upon observations of too short a duration, we lhave endeavoured to form our conclusions on this subject from a more protracted investigation. With this object in view we have followed up 64 cases, all of which have been re-examined at least twice in a period of three and a half to five and a half years after the onset of the renal symptoms. The majority of our cases were first observed in the acute stages, so that an attempt has been made to classify them bv the symptoms which they then presented. Subsequent examinations have serve(d to show in which type of acute nephritis the largest proportion of recoveries can be expected.
