Abstract
EXPERIMENTAL work on pyelonephritis has been confined to rabbits, rats and mice1. The investigation on rhesus monkeys recorded here was undertaken because this species is phylogenetically close to man and, therefore, has better chances of developing the various characteristics of the human disease rather than any other laboratory animal. This preliminary communication describes the techniques employed for the production of chronic pyelonephritis.
