OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of @entity8 in @entity1 with primary @entity3025 taking into consideration the following variables: sex, age at diagnosis, febrile @entity293 , degree of reflux and bacteria specimen. METHOD: Retrospective study of 58 @entity1 with age ranging from 2 months to 11 years, presenting primary @entity3025 detected by voiding cystourethrogram after documented episode of @entity293 . The diagnosis of @entity8 was obtained by @entity9409 scan 5 months after the treatment of the @entity293 ; in 40 @entity1 the @entity9409 scan was performed again from 6 months up to 6 years after the treatment. RESULTS: 45 @entity1 (77.6%) were @entity1 and 13 (22.4%) were @entity1 , 51.7% were 2 years old or younger. The incidence of @entity8 was 55.2%. There was significant higher proportion of @entity8 in @entity1 , when the @entity1 presented @entity221 and dilated @entity3025 (III, IV, V). Fever and female sex were risk factors for the development of @entity8 ( @entity221 --ODDS ratio=6.19 and female sex--ODDS ratio=4.12). There was a prevalence of @entity8 in @entity1 over 2 years old. The interval between the beginning of the symptoms and the first medical visit was longer in the @entity1 with @entity8 . New @entity8 were observed in 12.5%. CONCLUSIONS: Fever and female sex were risk factors for the presence of @entity8 , mainly in the dilated @entity3025 . The high incidence of @entity8 in this study may be related to delayed diagnosis of @entity3025 .
