Summary:Kanamycin was used to treat 20 cases of acute and chronic urinary tract infections in childood. The drug was administered intramuscularly for 7 days in a dosage of 20 mg. per kologram per day. Kanamycin was effective in large percetage of these infections. Patients with acute infections and correctible urinary tract anomalies responded better than those with chronic infections and noncorrectible anomalies. Kanamycin appears to be another effective antibiotic for urinary tract infections in childhood. The potential ototoxic and nephrotoxic effects of the drug should be borne in mind when its use is considered.
