  • The outcome of stopping prophylactic antibiotics in older children with vesicoureteral reflux.

    Cooper CS, Chung BI, Kirsch AJ, Canning DA, Snyder HM. J Urol. 2000; 163 (1): 269-72; discussion 272-3

    Accepted management of vesicoureteral reflux includes surgical correction or prophylactic antibiotics with the hope for resolution as the child grows. The physician must consider surgery when reflux does not resolve despite uneventful years on prophylactic antibiotics. An alternative is cessation of the antibiotics. We report on the outcome of children taken off antibiotics with persistent reflux.
